The Pivot/Proust Questionnaire

Machine translation.

Dear Vaz'onautes friends,

I found you hooked on games… :smiley:
In turn, I therefore propose a very simple one to you.
This game is based on the questionnaire by Bernard Pivot and Marcel Proust. You just need to answer the few questions below honestly, and I will try to get a sense of your personality.
Good deal?

So, let's go:

1. What is your favorite word?
2. What word do you hate?
3. What is your “drug” (the thing you cannot
favorite
4. What kind of noise do you like?
5. What noise do you hate the most?
6. What is your favorite swear word?
7. Which famous man or woman would you like to see on a new
banknote
8. What profession, other than your own, would you have liked to pursue?
9. What job would you not have liked to do?
10. If
Was it possible to be reincarnated?
11. If God exists, what would you like Him to say to you
Arrival in paradise?

So a word to the enthusiasts, and have fun. :wink: ;D

Hello Lemagicien,

Thank you for playing along. Please don't hesitate to correct me if my view is (completely) skewed.

I read you and catch myself humming “Max is free”

Freedom of the body, freedom of the mind, spiritual gluttony, awakening and interest in many disparate things, intellectual curiosity.

You are not the kind of man to refuse an experience, provided, of course, that it satisfies your desires, meets your expectations, and helps you grow without holding you back. Yet sometimes, the flesh must atone :wink:

Your material base seems to matter very little to you, and your thoughts are so "elevated" that you perceive any reminder of our good old world and our beautiful consumer society as an "aggression."
By whatever means necessary, you must break free, take flight, even if, in the eyes of some, that amounts to idealism, mysticism, or even frivolity…

If your help can easily be obtained for “desperate” causes (your outlook on life is such that you cannot conceive of leaving others in dire straits), it costs you an enormous amount of energy, because you put your whole heart into what you do.

I would add that the stagnation and the lack of confidence in the good things in life are unbearable to you.

Take us beyond the rainbow, on your eagle wings, to see life as you envision it…

Kind regards,

Eclair

Hello Lolly Pop, Lolly Popette!

Thanks for playing along, and don't hesitate to let me know if I got it wrong ;D

“A day without laughter is a day wasted” — does that ring a bell?

You find a reason (whether intentional or not) to laugh in every situation (or almost every one), and you could genuinely whisper, “Smile, because it’s serious; jokes must be delivered with the utmost seriousness.”

That laugh is your bladed weapon, for you can use it to mock and hurt, and also your onyx shield, for self-deprecation often protects against the malice of others and temporarily relieves your emotional sensitivity…

Your intelligence enables you to skillfully deploy the right word or a touch of humor, even to extricate yourself from the inescapable situations that your "untamable" character entails.

There’s no need to imagine that your pretty head is just full of pranks and mischief. You come across as a generous, cultured, and well-read person, with the good taste not to flaunt your learning the way others flaunt their wealth. You are drawn to everything and its opposite, curious and open to others.
I think you must be a good conversationalist, with a very pleasant and festive rising sign.

Vanity undermines you, and you prefer, sometimes wrongly, the wealth of the soul and heart to that of the banks.

Just like the lotus, you are delicate, open to light and knowledge, and who knows, perhaps more fragile than you seem.
Even if God seems happy to see you, tell Him that we, too, need a little permanent ray of sunshine.

Kind regards,

Éclair

Dear Eclair Lune air (or a calm, appreciated, even fulfilling illumination…),

Lethe and Mneme

Pre-logical, supra-logical laughter, the preconscious…: about laughter

The three aspire to a visionary and illogical meeting place with reality.

For me, the man's movement proceeds from the tangible to the intangible in this intermediate state where he can feel both aspects of each.

This raw, profound essence, before being presented, offered to the other, luminous and refined, is interesting, first and foremost for oneself, and secondly for the recipient…

Yes, laughter can be seen as a form of protection or a shield against stupidity.

If laughter is used for mockery.

It does not satisfy me because it is incomplete and underdeveloped; if it is used in a carefree sharing, then, I fully agree with every bit of it, the refined is, for me, that: the art of laughing is worth dedicating oneself to with gentleness and kindness, and that the words and the emotion applied to it should, from the outset, be shared openly rather than kept in a closed circuit for the sake of ego.

This is to complete your paragraph on protecting oneself, laughing to protect oneself,

Yes, probably for some, probably…

For me, it is synonymous with sharing and is innate. Is it self-mockery? I would say, for my part, that it is one of the aspects within me that opens and leads to the innate substance of man, in the sense that it is one of the movements that illuminates the lips and reunites the child and the adult that we are.

On the other hand, there is no emotionality, or rather it is about ensuring that sadness never invades others, or
to practice the descent of Persephone to the underworld, the void that opens beneath her feet, for me the axis-cord of the descent is also a rope to climb back up…

We can do it with laughter or in earnest; it doesn't matter, we each have our own limits in this regard.

To conclude, we do not use laughter to protect ourselves, but rather because it is an emotion that is welcomed, without any attempt to hide our vulnerability.

Fragility, yes, that doesn't bother me.

However, this apparent physical fragility is often a crutch and a great healing for the other...

Indeed, contemporary creation never ceases to contemplate that of our original civilization.

The essential is never hidden, nor concealed…

Thank you for this analysis; it contains real aspects, while others remain in pre-reliefs, but the human being has multiple facets...

Well done, though, because the foundation is there...

A kiss from me to you
Lolly the untamable… lol!

Hello lightning!

Hello Eclair,

Thank you for this great analysis!

Warm regards
The magician.

Good evening Eclair,

Freedom also involves a pursuit of knowledge.
Any quest for freedom can only be lived by acknowledging that the other is free in their choices.
This material need we have ends up imprisoning us in a world where freedom, due to this need for acquisition, no longer exists.
Taking flight toward freedom does not mean escaping, but rather seeking knowledge and tolerance.
Life represents light, so let us make the most of it and see the bright side!

Warm regards
The magician.

Thank you all for your interest in this game.

I will have to be away for a few days to get some rest in the sun of Languedoc, and so I will return to you as soon as possible, full of energy and insight (yes, that’s on the agenda too), with the missing analyses. I promise not to forget anyone.

Thank you for your understanding, and see you very soon ;D.
