Is it better to have the respect of your children or your parents?

Boy tough one.......I guess parents (the one thing I DO KNOW is that you never realize how smart your parents REALLY were until you're older)

That's a tough one it depends on the situation.

Wait and collect your thoughts. I like to clear the air right away, but I that's not always the best way. I think it's better to wait, sit on it, become clear on what you think. Then have the discussion.

But we can say that about all "Is it better" questions, can't we?

I think having grace toward another's misgivings is the best way to go.

Is it better to quit a job you've had for 10 years and start all over in an entry-level position in hopes of doing what you've always wanted to do, or is it better to continue working at a job where you have seniority but it gives you no satisfaction?

OMG I'm currently in this exact situation!! LOL! Well due to financial obligations ; we just bought the house less than a year ago) and my seniority and FMLA for my disabled spouse, I stay at my job with not much satisfaction. But I tell myself I make good money and I have health insurance, etc. However, if I ever hit that lottery I will quit. IS IT BETTER to try alternative medicine (herbs, homeopathy, reiki, accupressure,etc) or stick with traditional medicine the family doctor prescribes?

I would blend them both, if possible.


Is it better to know the date of your death (if that were possible) or live without knowing?

I think it depends on the person. To me, there's no right answer.

Is it better to wake up without a migraine or without pain in your body?

Without a migraine, probably. I can't do anything with a migraine.


Is it better to teach children mostly how to survive (in an extreme sense) and take care of themselves or how to be a societal norm (thereby ensuring they have friends and family their whole life who will likely help them to survive)?
