Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:
THE CHILDREN'S TRAIN
- In what ways do my circumstances affect the amount of compassion I have to give?
- How important is politics to me?
- How many failures can I tolerate before I give up hope?
- What have I done for other people's benefit that wasn't in fact good for them?
- When have things in my life seemed horrible but in fact they turned out good?
- When have I felt a sense of abandonment?
- What are the different skills that enabled me to continue to develop beyond the background I came from?
- Where in my life have there been connections that were meaningful that I didn't expect?
- What situations have showed me possibilities that I never dreamed of?
