Impose, Expose, Depose or Repose

Impose.  Expose.  Depose.  Repose. 
These are the attitudes toward living and thinking I want to explore for the next few days.  I hope you will think along with me, and let me know what your thoughts are.
Think with me of the friend who bounces up to you and says, "You have to do it.  It's expected.  It's what you do."  Your friend has an IMPOSE perspective on life. 
I don't mean she/he is trying to impose on you -- rather she or he is certain that LIFE, God, Society, or some other mysterious force imposes certain things on all of us.  We are all imposed on, and we ought to further the imposing by letting others know what they are expected to do or be or become.  Sometimes the "how" is also imposed, along with the "when" and the "who". 
It's a way of thinking.  I think I am expected to have something or someone tell me what to do, when to do it, who to do it with, and how it should be done.
What do you think?  Do you bring a basic "impose" way of thinking to most of your living?  Share your thoughts by leaving a comment.
