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 273
What do you truly need from other people? Do you tell them?
Have you ever been so embarassed or ashamed by something that you have done that you took it out on someone around you rather than facing it? What happened?
Is competition healthy or damaging? Which is more important, the individual (western) or the team (eastern) or does it not really matter in the long run?
What would you say or do if you had a teenage daughter who had already dropped out of high school, becomes pregnant, and tells you that she has no intentions of working since she knows that her parents and the government will take care of her indefinitely?
If you found out that you had a terminal illness would you tell the people around you or would you keep to yourself to shelter them from hurting? Would you want to know if it was someone that you cared about?
Do you think that people who have been abused as children are likely to grow up and be abusive to their own children? How could they break that cycle if they wanted to?
Do you always say exactly what you are thinking or are there times when you keep some thoughts to yourself? Are you still being completely honest if you are holding back?
Can you think of someone who, over a short period of time, significantly influenced your life? Was that influence positive or negative and how did it impact you?
If you could have 20 years of guaranteed complete and utter happiness and success in life but, at the end of that 20 years your life would end, would you do it? Why or why not?
