Tricky questions

 Tricky questions

I usually ask only "silly questions"🙏( A whole blog of samples, and when the cup was full, I continued it as "silly doubts")

That doesn't meant I don't face 'tricky questions' at all 😥

3 samples:

Joke form :
Judge: " answer yes-or-no.... Has your wife stopped beating you???"
witness: "😰"( he sensed a trap .... in both, a yes or a no)

Escapist form:
Cannibal :" If you are truthful, we roast you and eat, If you lie, we eat you raw. Now, Who are you?"
Victim : " I am a liar" ( a paradoxical answer😇. They let him go, unable to decide whether it was true/false)

Formatted form : Look at a 4-page Loan_proposal form .... for unsecured/inadequately_secured  loan from a Bank.   There are repeat questions in 1st and 4th page. But cleverly worded. Deceptive questions.  A dishonest answer at both places, will mismatch, and the fellow processing the loan proposal is 'trained' to sight such hidden lies!😉( A set of tricky questions, like a CBI investigator, but in a 'template')

My experience (can't prove it with evidence😓)
Exit interview : "What are the factors leading to your decision to retire so_prematurely?" ( the idea was to provoke me to narrate/spill my woes. Convincing arguements were well prepared to retain me 😉)
Me:  Only 1 factor. No plural 'are'...  only 'is'.  I joined for salary. Now I can do without salary . Simple (I torpedoed the hidden 'trick' with a straight_forward answer, which was the essence of my several 'factors'. Workplace ambience couldn't offer any additional reason other than "I badly need a salary". Instead, it dissuaded me negatively 😉.  But why should I not avoid the 'trap'?)
He : (😓forgot what else to ask NOW!!) : " well, in that case, it's your choice now!🙏" 
( Don corleone, in "Godfather" movie said, "I make a proposal, which the other can't refuse". A lesson that comes handy in my life in tricky situations)

A.I. enabled scenario
me to google : "Shiva laid down before Kali to pacify her?" ( A.I. is programmed to 'search' using 'key' words....   Shiva (epic name), Kali (epic heroine, angry), pacify (related symbolism, Shiva-Shakti combo)
Google Maharaj : (too lengthy result, to paste here! But I got the 'symbolism' involved.. several write-ups, by facebook users, quoting the symbolism from books, etc...  though a copypaste, I can 'use' my own spiritual experience to evaluate it 'intelligently'😉 The 'asking' part is tricky with A.I. 🙏. Right kind of key words!!!)
