Philosophical Questioning

- In life, we endure hardships what do you do to overcome it?
- Is attacking someone to protect your own needs a good reason to attack someone?
Reflection:
The most memorable moment I had with my little sister was when I asked her question #1. We had about a good 5 minute talk, while she was very shakey on the question and saying it depends on what that something is and if its worth the risk. Such as a family member or just money. Something that was surprising was when i asked question #3 and i expected her to bail out of the question. But instead right after she heard the question she answered with confidence, yes. A way i could improve my questions is by asking less "you" questions and more related to society.
