If you could sit and have dinner with any twelve people throughout history and discuss life, their thoughts, understand why they did what they did, their views of then and now, and any other questions or comments that come into your mind, who would those dozen people be?
Yes...they can also be alive now, or be long gone from this earth.
I've often thought about who I would choose. I even expanded my guest list to twelve from its original ten, but refuse to make it any larger.
I'd include people for their insight, foresight, wisdom, intellect, to tell me what really happened during their lives (or the part that historians explore), and what they think (or thought) of past events and how they view the world today.
It's tough to pick only twelve and I know that it can change from time-to-time but -
here's my list for now:
My Dad
Albert Einstein
Benjamin Franklin
Jackie Robinson
Cleopatra
Moses
Jesus
Mohammed
Buddha
Ghandi
Helen Keller
George Carlin
I'd love to hear who your picks would be, questions about why and/or how I decided on the people on my list, or any other thoughts.

Helen Keller would be quite boring at the dinner table seeing (no pun intended) that she cant give any feedback.
ReplyDeleteId probably drop the religious people and add:
Hitler
Jim Morrison
Sigmund Freud
Dave Chappelle
Thats all i can think of at the moment
I would pick these certain individuals for their comedic relief, vast insight into the past, interesting views into the future, intellect, athleticism, knowledge, musical talents and opinions, and for what their thoughts are on how the world has changed, for better or worse.
