What are the most important human virtues? How do you acknowledge them?
What are the most horrible human faults? Do you believe these are inherent to human beings? Do you believe that they are in fact damnable faults? Do you believe that you are guilty of damnable faults? Are these faults your own doing, or are they part of your biological self?
What people or aspects of life could you absolutely not live without, emotionally or existentially speaking? What would you do if you lost them?
To whom or what, besides your own immediate happiness or pleasure, would you sacrifice your life? What about just part of it? Say, half your waking hours or some other amount. Why? Many people with children just say that immediately. What if you had never had children, and could not have any. What then?
Alternately, would you be happy, or satisfied, if you could have all the material and sensual pleasure you wanted in life, but nothing else: no love, no meaning nor purpose.
