6.30(Tue) If Cats Disappear From The World (Host: Joseph)

文章 joseph »

Session 1:
Actually the topic is from a book.

Here is the plot from the book:
A postman learns that he doesn't have much time left to live due to a terminal illness. A devil then appears in front of him and offers to extend his life (one day) if he picks something in the world that will disappear(he can pick 2 things=two days and so on). The man thinks about his relationships with ex-friends, ex-lovers, relatives and colleagues who will be sincerely sad when he dies.

The plot immediately connects me into thinking this quote: “get something good but loses something else good in return.”

Now here comes questions:
1. What would you pick something from the world if you were him? Why?
2. Imagine what would happen if the thing you choose is gone forever?
3. What other things you can relate to this topic(For me, in One Piece, Luffy eats devil fruit to gain Superman ability but lose ability to swim)?
4. In your experience, have you tried to gain something you really want, but lose something valuable at the end?

Extra question: 1. If the devil picked telephones to disappear from the world for you, who would you call before it disappeared?
2. If the devil picked cats to disappear, would you agree (if you have a cat with you for 5 years and you love her very much)?
