Why Do I Question?

Questions and questions and questions

Changing moments, days, and years

Human existence is change…

But to ever what purpose?

Ahhh… the questions, always seeking

Seeking the answers, finding questions

What is my purpose?

What should be my plan?

Where shall I go?

Who can help me understand?

Why do I ask the questions?

Why do they plague my mind?

Every question is an offered path.

Each answer is the road taken.

As the chrysalis holds the secret

Of the worm’s metamorphosis,

So every riddle spoken holds

The answer to my queries.

While I breathe, I think… I ponder,

Forming catechisms of every aspect

of this life… then and now and when…

Living, growing, always in this

Always never ending inquisition…

This interrogatory examination of Life.

Questions and questions and questions…

Changing moments, days, and years…

Human existence is change… 

Evolution is Life.

But… 

Changes bring questions. 

When I have no more questions, 

I know, it only will ever be because 

I no longer have breath to ask them.

It's human nature to question everything; it's the curiosity of our being that allows us to question; and where are the answers? Ah that's the tough one, but as you say so succinctly ":every question is an offered path...
each answer is the road taken"....which may satisfy the question....."changes bring questions"... and that is part of life, part of change...we must go with the flow, in a sense.....even though mant of us fine it hard to do....make a change and be satisfied.....we may still question!
NICE!

Change is the way of life and 'question' is the ultimate response of existence. You've written it beautifully

Thank you

[Sindu]

An intricate spun web of human mind which craves for answers plagued with questions, so much more.
This is brilliant.. almost felt like cogs turning and this elaborates the sensation.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[ANM]

Questioning thingsis is one of the things that make us human , very well written and thought provoking!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[therisa]

To question
Is live life
To its fullest.

Seeking answers
Where none exist
Expanding knowledge
And insight
To the human condition.

While growing
As a person
In all facets
Of our life.

[MomzillaNC]

Looks like a poem of your own on the same theme.

[therisa]

Just thoughts, your poem generate, Momzilla.

Inspiration comes from all corners of our experience.

Am begining to wish my fingers moved at a faster speed, with my brain, at times.

You can improve your typing skill. Did you ever take typing in school? Type this exercise ad nauseum: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." Or type Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, or the Gettysburg Address.

We also used the the Preamble to the Constitution: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I type 90wpm and it all began from typing stuff like that over and over and over, ad nauseam in typing class. My first class, we began the year with five reams of typing paper and the command to fill no less than four of them -- front and back -- with practice assignments like the ones I mention above. No one left that class typing less than 80wpm (at least, no one who passed).

[therisa]

I have taken a typing class, in high school, using old manual typewriters. I hated that class, but I passed. It was that, or taking auto shop and I am not mechanically inclined.

Even repetitive typing of a said paragraph, I still miss words, for I see what I have missed typing. Its part of my dyslexia. An umbrella term for 1300 learning disorders, which are related.

[MomzillaNC]

I do understand that. And, I know it will be difficult, even uncomfortable for you. But, my sister took the same class and came out of it typing 85/12% (that's wpm and error percentage). The requirement was 80/15% to pass with a C grade.

Now, before her diagnosis of dyslexia, she took a standardized IQ test and scored an IQ of 67. After the diagnosis, and nearly a year into non-drug therapies, she scored 110 on the same scale when retested. I promise, you can do it. Your text above is without spelling or grammar errors. You can be accurate and practice will make you faster.

Stop telling yourself you can't. Instead, ask, "How will I?"

[therisa]

Momzilla, my last test for LD, they scored my IQ, at 126, which is almost 2 deviations from the norm, and this without any special work done on me, to improve my abilities.

[MomzillaNC]

I'm not familiar with that one. But, the baseline for normal for the one my sister took was 110 (anything below 100 was considered functionally challenged).

Whatever the tests, you're clearly lucid and intelligent. You've been programmed to believe more in your ability to fail than to in your ability to succeed. I'm sorry that's been your experience and hope you'll overcome it and quickly.

My sister gave me the statement I parrot at my son (who has ADHD) all the time: It's not something to hold you back, but to challenge you to overcome. You have dyslexia. So do a lot of people -- a lot of very brilliant people, not least of whom include the likes of Abraham Lincoln. You can do it. You can overcome. No one can stop you but you. Only you can achieve it.

[therisa]

For most standard deviation, a baseline is usually 100, and each deviation is measured in a set mathematical distance, which most people fall into. This is where, terms like idiot and moron come from. Problem is, the IQ test ask questions that are culturally appropiate for one region and not for another.

[MomzillaNC]

I know that IQ tests aren't terribly reliable for those reasons. It doesn't negate the statement I shared with you. You can do it. You.

[therisa]

Sigh, there are days, I agree with you, Momzilla, and others, I am so frustrated that I want to scream outloud.

[MomzillaNC]

We all have days like that. Honestly, I'm amazed I'm still here to write to you after some of the black days I survived. I can't make it better. But you can. You just keep moving forward; keep looking up and out. The past and your disability are only as empowered as you continue to make them. I'm not saying it's easy -- it's anything but. However, I believe it is the way of Hope that will lead you forward and that you must embrace the conviction that you are good enough and strong enough.

[therisa]

Sigh. Today isn't one of those days, for me, Momzilla.

[MomzillaNC]

Hold onto those moments of gratitude and look for more. It's a sure fire way to lift up your soul.

[TL Boehm]

I really relate to this one. I wonder if it is just the "writers curse" we constantly question ourselves, our validity - life itself. Sometimes I want to be shallow, vapid, numb
Found this one relevant.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I think it's the driving force for all artists… always seeking meaning.

[L. C. Rhodes]

An interesting monologue on curiosity. I like the imagery used with the caterpillar.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[hardeep sabharwal]

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

Human being are constantly curious. When curiosity ends, so does like, though some people lose it at thirty, and some people are still curious at ninety.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you for your review.
