Which Letter is most important to you? I, S, T or J and why?
Wow. That's a great big ambiguous and subjective question. Important in what way? By its impact on me? Its impact on how others view me? By bringing traits I like? Or some other way of being important?
And how do you differentiate between the letters, since as stand alone letters, they can have two directions of energy?
in terms of highest preference -I
in terms of the one i like - T
Had to think about this one for a few days before I threw my .02 in.
Anyway, I would have to say "T", despite it being the lowest "percentage" of my four letters.
No offense against the "F's" that may be reading this, but I believe that if I was an "F" instead of a "T", I'd get too caught up in my own feelings and the feelings of others and not be able to get the things done that HAVE to get done, regardless.
I would never deliberately step on anyone in order to achieve my goals or take care of business; however, there are times that I've had to decide about something that makes people wonder if I'm a robot or have ice for blood (not true, btw ... but we all know this already).
Example: The other night at work, the fire alarm went off. At the time I didn't realize it was a false alarm, and so therefore my first instinct after checking the boards (the boards stated that it was in the resident corridor) was to barge into each of the resident bedrooms to determine if there was a fire or break-in. This was at 2am, so of course I woke everyone up. One of the residents was like, "Huh??? Whaaa---?" after I'd ascertained her room was not on fire. However, I still had to figure out if the window was open or not, and I still had two more rooms after hers to check. My next sentence to her: "Is the window open? Answer yes or no." She said no, and I moved on to the next room without apology or explanation. THAT could wait until the morning.
The "T" definitely as feelings just get in the way of rational actions, and feelings cause more headaches than they're good for. I guess they help with moral decisions, but I could probably come to good conclusions having lesser of a feeling side regardless.
S, because it keeps me aware of my surroundings. S, obviously makes a "sssssssss", sound which reminds me to calm down and keep a rational train of thought during stressful times. I also love the beaches(no pun intended) near my home, and the letter "s" reminds me of the best things about the beach( sand, sea, and snowcones)
T.
I don't really even want to imagine what life is like for F's.
