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 181
Do you think that money and happiness are related? Can people without money still be happy? Could you be happy without a lot of money?
Have you ever been around someone who acts like a martyr (a person who sacrifices or suffers for others or for principles) and who like to frequently remind people of how much they always do and how little appreciation they get? What's the best way to respond to someone like this?
Are there people who just do NOT like you? Put yourself in their shoes for a moment and say out loud why it is that you think they may not like you. Now that you have heard it would you be willing to change that if you could?
Do you believe in the possibility of "rehabilitation" for child molestors? Would you be okay with a registered sex offender moving in to your neighborhood?
Have you ever hurt someone's feelings with careless words that were not meant to be hurtful but ended up being received that way? Do you make an apology or just expect the other person to see your side and to get over it?
Do you think that there are some people that act like they know everything and refuse to listen to anything new? What, in your opinion, makes them act like that?
Do you think that schools should provide students with free and confidential birth control? Do you think that parents should have the right to know if their children are still underage?
What can you do to make tomorrow an even better day than today for both you and those around you? Can you continue to do these things day in and day out?
If you grew up in an environment, that included what you thought were inappropriate behaviors by your parents, what can you do to make sure that you won't continue those same behaviors?
If someone had to deliver your eulogy today, what would they say about the life that you have lived so far? Is that how you would like to be remembered or would you want to change anything?
