How do we see ourselves? How do we treat others? Are there similarities? What are we like? Who do we want to be? What will we change to be that person? What are we living for? What are we fighting, breathing, loving, feeling for? How will we live to get where we want? What are our goals? How will we achieve them? What obstacles will we break down? What would we do if we failed? How will we get back up? Are we even asking ourselves the right questions?
