The Power to Heal

Fandango21 Comments

Are you feeling tired and listless? Is life treating you like some piece of ductile material where you’re bent, pulled, or pressed into different shapes, stuck in the middle while being slammed by the anarchists on the far right and the idealists on the far left? Can you even tell the difference between a pepperocini and a pepperoni anymore?

Fandango’s Provocative Question #185

FPQ

What I do mean is a question that is likely to get you to think, to be creative, and to provoke a response. Hopefully a positive response.

Welcome once again to Fandango’s Provocative Question. Each week I will pose what I think is a provocative question for your consideration.

By provocative, I don’t mean a question that will cause annoyance or anger. Nor do I mean a question intended to arouse sexual desire or interest.

These are scary times. The geopolitical world is going through significant upheavals and certain things we once took for granted, such as democracy or representative government, health, safety, a hospitable climate, clean water and air, and human rights, seem to no longer be assured.

Given this, my question this week is a broad one that asks:

What do you think is the scariest thing that humankind has ever created?

If you choose to participate, write a post with your response to the question. Once you are done, tag your post with #FPQ and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress.

FOWC

It’s October 12, 2022. Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).

Today’s word is “listless.”

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.

And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. Show them some love.
