I was doing Ice-breakers for yesterday's cell group and I played a game that is not a typical church game, till now, I'm not sure if I had created the right atmosphere. This game requires people who are sporting, who'll answer truthfully and spontaneously. This is how the game goes:
In each turn, one person will be posed with a question, for example, someone were to offer you money to leave your house immediately, what is the minimum amount that you'll demand? Everyone will try to guess the amount this person puts down and the one whose value is the nearest wins. Then another question will be posed to someone else and so on.
If the house means a lot to the person, he/she will want more money
But if the person can't wait to leave the house, he/she may even pay someone off to get rid of the place
How much are you willing to pay for Rolandinho's jersey, the one he wore on Monday when played against Singapore?
How much money will tempt you into running the year-end Standard Chartered Marathon?
How much are you willing to pay to have a 6-pack?
How much money are you willing to pay to bribe a Traffic Police in order to keep your driving license?
...
It may be a silly question to many but to the specific person, some things are really treasured, while some things are dreaded, and when we put a value to it, it gets interesting. I didn't plan to join in but since everyone was happily playing along, it finally ended with me and I was posed with this question:
How much will you sell your memories of Japan, including the language, friends, experiences for?
I wrote down $5 million. But even with $5 million, I don't want to sell it, not at any price.
But in another angle, these things can't be brought up to heaven, so why is it so difficult to let go. If I already have so much baggage at this age, I can't imagine myself 10, 20 years from now.
