Question

What type of person would you become if one day you ceased to take seriously your own... seriousness?

Answer 1

Your question reflects a dangerous tendency to think deeper than the obvious.

Answer 2

A happier person who was more fun  to be around.

Answer 3

Those who don't take themselves seriously become flippant, frivolous people with the hearts and minds of children. They see everything and everyone around them in terms of entertainment only, and refuse to take part in the world (don't participate, don't vote, don't pay taxes, don't help others, etc.).

Answer 4

I don't know -but I'm seriously thinking of not taking myself so seriously.

Actually, I wouldn't do that if I were me (which I am), as it would be too contrary to my nature. Seriously, I need my seriousness. That doesn't mean that I can't be lighthearted on occasion, but that I must have that serious side as well & that I realize that there are certain things that should be taken seriously, myself included.

Answer 5

maybe happier...but i would lost my depth my volume...my passion inside...all the things that make me truly me... i believe its great to laugh at yourself it makes life easier...mush easier..but certain amounts of seriousness is necessary...everything cannot be looked and pondered upon with ease...certain things need more thought, more concern and substance... i would be losing a part of myself if i lost the depth... the same way i would be losing some of me again if i lost the humor.... and i would be left incomplete...

Answer 8

I take myself seriously; I just don't take life all that seriously.  So I'd be who I am now.

Answer 9

I seriously believe you would seriously be happier if you could cease to take yourself so seriously.

Answer 10

If given some light thought, I think that I would become loved by those who may pose as a socially challenged danger. Maybe : )

Answer 11

Life isn't about all play and no work.... if I'm on my deathbed... surely all of us would surely say if only I spent more time at the office, and less time with family and friends... Life surely isn't about relationship is it???

Answer 12
