Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality

Never make a promise while intending not to keep it. This is forbidden as it falls within lying and hypocrisy. Bukhārī and Muslim narrated that the Prophet said:“Three traits single out a hypocrite, even if he prays or fasts and claims to be Muslim:If he speaks, he lies. If he makes a promise, he does not keep it. If he is entrusted, he betrays the trust.”

“Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality...One can't possess reality, one can possess images--one can't possess the present but one can possess the past.” 

Interpretation is the revenge of the intellectual upon art.

I envy paranoids; they actually feel people are paying attention to them. Susan Sontag

An open-ended question is designed to encourage a full, meaningful answer using the subject's own knowledge and/or feelings. It is the opposite of a closed-ended question, which encourages a short or single-word answer.

Closed-ended questions are those which can be answered by a simple "yes" or "no," while open-ended questions are those which require more thought and more than a simple one-word answer.

Examples of closed-ended questions are:

·         Are you feeling better today?

·         May I use the bathroom?

·         Is the prime rib a special tonight?

·         Will you please do me a favor?

·         Have you already completed your homework?

·         Is that your final answer?

·         Were you planning on becoming a fireman?

·         Should I call her and sort things out?

·         Is it wrong to want to live on my own at this age?

·         Shall we make dinner together tonight?

Here are some examples of open-ended questions:

·         What were the most important wars fought in the history of the United States?

·         What are you planning to buy today at the supermarket?

·         How exactly did the fight between the two of you start?

·         What is your favorite memory from childhood?

·         How will you help the company if you are hired to work for us?

·         What do you plan to do immediately following graduation from college?

·         What types of decorations do you plan to have for your friend's birthday party?

·         What was your high school experience like?

·         How did you and your best friend meet?

·         What sights do you expect to see on your vacation?

·         How do you go about booking tickets for a flight?

·         What were the major effects of World War II for the United States?

·         How do you go about purchasing a home?

·         What is it like to live in Morocco?

·         What is the quickest way to get to the pet store in town?

·         Why is it that every time I talk with you, you seem irritated?
