Would you rather B something great or C something great? (soul, purpose)

[Siberiaboy]

B “Be” it (power is led by you and the power of one can change the world)?

Or C “See” it (you know you are small and mortal but grateful for what you can experience mentally and emotionally using the graces given to you, so you try to use this to connect your soul in some way to seeing/observing that which few others can see and then let that change you from within?)

Both of these are really manifestations of life purpose.

To Be or To See which is more important to you?

[Parnassia]

"Great" is completely subjective.

Why do you have to choose? Why not both?

[Siberiaboy]

You can do both but which do you value more

[hawk55732]

My question is, why use B and C. Why not be and see?

I agree, it's unnecessarily complicating and muddies the question.

But if I understand the question--I think there's one in there--I usually end up on the side of "being" versus "seeing." I equate "seeing" with just being a consumer. Perhaps a wise, seasoned consumer, but still someone who imbibes, not creates. I value creating/being more, even if it's not spectacular.

I think Buddy Hackett put it well when he said something like, "never trust the guy who hasn't walked the last 40 feet."

Since the "one person can change the world" thing is rather comical for most, I'd go with the second and more realistic option.

I’d rather go for A although I’m not sure what philosophical life choice that may be. So many options with a limited alphabet.

Be one thing great and see other things great. Otherwise it's too stressful trying to keep it all up.

I'd rather watch the show than star in it.

In the words of David Cassidy, "If you dream of fame and fortune, try starting with fortune and see how that works out for you."

I'd rather be, which is also seeing it at the same time.
