I find it a pretty good answer, but others don't so tell me what do you guys think.
I believe that there is no wrong or right answers for philosophy questions, it all returns to what one might think or the way they evaluate it.

P.S. I am not sure if that fits here but it has to do with philosophy so yeah.

Reminds me of the other story about the final for the grad-level philosophy course. The final was one page, one question, one word:

"WHY?"

While many students turned in reams of paper containing existential arguments, metaphysical musings, and more than a few religious testimonials, only one student in the whole class got an A+ on the final.

Her response was two words.


"Why not?"
