Your last sentence is one answer to the question you ask in the first sentence.

That's a common usage of a rhetorical question. You ask it and then you answer it.

    A rhetorical question is a question asked for effect rather than to get an answer.

    If you have to explicitly answer the question it is not rhetorical.
