We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

Question of the Day: Day 151
Have you ever been so afraid of being successful at something that you made yourself fail? What was scary about it and how did you overcome it?
Would you enter into (or stay in) a relationship with someone who was really good looking and very popular even if they said or did mean things to you? Why or why not?
Do you think that people have an obligation to help one another or is it every man for himself? If everyone believed the same way that you do then what would the world look like?
If you knew that someone that you care about was going to do everything that you do (good and bad) would you change any of your behaviors in order to be a better role model?
What, if anything, would you do if you were in a public place and saw a woman that you'd never met and she had bruises on her face? Would you ask her questions, offer to help her, or mind your own business and assume that she would get help if she needed it?
As more and more mothers are having to work out of the home to support their families (especially single mothers) how is this impacting new generations of children? Should we be concerned about future generations if this trend continues?
Do you think that people who live in the city have different values than people who live in the country? Can you give examples to support your viewpoint?
How do you respond if you catch a person picking their nose in a public place? Would your response ease their embarassment (be kind) or make it worse (be mean) and what does that say about you?
What do you do when you are frustrated to the point of exploding? Looking back now, were those things really as bad as you thought they were at the time?
Have you ever felt like people just don't really know you even though they think that they do? What do you think makes us feel like strangers sometimes?
What do you think about a person who belches or passes gas in a public place? Is it something to be proud of or is it just rude? What should a person do?
