WDP — Changing Perspectives Over Time

Daily writing prompt
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

I used to host a weekly prompt called Fandango’s Provocative Question from November 4, 2018 through August 30, 2023, almost five years. One of the reasons I finally threw in the towel on that prompt was because it was becoming more and more difficult to come up with a new and different provocative or interesting question each week. So I can appreciate what the folks at WordPress are struggling with trying to come up with new and different prompt questions each day. But apparently they have stopped trying and are recycling them, sometimes verbatim, and sometime not exactly the same but close enough.

For example, the WDP question on December 30, 2022 was, “How have your political views changed over time?” I posted my response here.

And then, on December 28, 2023, the WDP question was exactly the same: “How have your political views changed over time?” I posted my slightly different response here.

Today, the WDP question doesn’t specifically ask about political views, but it does ask about how significant life events or the passage of time influence our perspective on life. And since I just posted about how a significant life event (falling off a ladder and fracturing a hip) influenced my perspectives on the passage of time and life, I’m going to put a link to that post here. Feel free to read it if you’re interested in knowing my response.
