Editor's note:
Exploring all the different platforms that a variety of answers can come from is one way to stimulate thinking creatively. Pick an answer you disagree with, for example. What sort of circumstance would it take to make you offer that response? Do believe your present answer will always hold? Was there a time when it was different? Why did it change? Would you want your children to live by the same belief?
Did any of the responses surprise or inspire you? Share a thought!
