HUMOR...
(or is it?)... A "tongue in cheek" reader evaluation self-test.
I write for nostr, but only qualified candidates need apply as followers... Those who follow my writing are special; cream of the crop; men and women of impeccable taste.
You are undoubtedly wondering;
What are the essential qualifications to be one of my regular readers?
YOU ARE A DISCERNING INDIVIDUAL;
...a little like the Dos Equis Man. Though you think for yourself, you remain open-minded. You are interested in everything.
You're not easily influenced; you hold a steady course where others flip-flop. Nevertheless, you are not too proud to change your mind when the truth smacks you in the face.
You are prepared to go toe-to-toe in a good, clean argument, more interested in learning than winning. You'll hit "Reply" to make an observation, ask a question, or mention something I may have overlooked. You're not afraid to either say or hear the words "I don't know."
YOU ARE NEITHER EASILY SHOCKED NOR QUICKLY OFFENDED.
It doesn't scare you that I'm forthright about believing that Jesus is the Creator/God, King of the universe. You hold your own beliefs and allow me to do the same. Knowing that I'll return the favor, you won't force your beliefs on me at the point of a gun, but you expect that we'll learn from one another.
You are neither easily shocked nor swiftly offended. You have no problem honestly disagreeing and debating a point. You're ready to call "bullshit" when necessary. Though very curious, you have more lives than a cat.
YOU ARE ON A JOURNEY TOWARDS TRUTH,
...grateful To Be Alive. You observe the universe with feelings of awe. You are grateful to be alive and humble enough to admit when you are wrong. You're not afraid of a challenge; regardless of gender, you have balls. Whether whale, dolphin, or minnow, you are one sharp ocean dweller.
YOU CAN LEARN FROM ALMOST ANYONE
You recognize that we have common interests, and you're not afraid to interact. New developments and ideas excite you; your face is towards the future, and it looks intriguing.
Though you believe you can learn from almost anyone, you realize your time limitations, so you choose carefully. I am one of your choices; you have no doubt that what I have to say will be well worth your time.
HOW DO YOU STACK UP?
Do you fit many, most, or all of these characteristics?
Then, by all means, FOLLOW ME.
