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!

questions! its what we do best, I read once that its not till we know the answers that we understand all the questions but that's from eastern wisdom so really our western minds don't really comprehend how that works i guess, although you may know better......do you ? sorry could'ent resist a question :)

I only know answers lead to more questions.

An interesting writing. I was brought up in a house were both of my parents loved to read but it was only at school that the love for imaginative thinking began. The first time we enacted Perceval the issue of questions came o the fore. Jung said: It is a bewildering thing in human life that the thing that causes the greatest fear is the source of the greatest wisdom. One’s great-est foolishness is one’s biggest stepping stone. No one can become a wise man without being a terrible fool. Perceval managed at the second time to ask the right question and gain an insight into the grail.

So I have grown accustomed to search and wonder.

I adhere to this writing as it is a feeling that I can relate to.

Thankyou

Thank you. We really do have to keep questioning.

For me, this addresses the matter of predestination and freedom of choice. Man has freedom of choice in order to give him the opportunity to make the right decisions.

[MomzillaNC]

Why else do we have questions? If we didn't have a choice, we shouldn't have such questioning minds.

[Lyn Anderson]

Exactly. But have you ever met those sects that say it's all preordained?

[MomzillaNC]

I know. I've read my Bible and much more theological study. No where do I find anyone say that God or Christ said our lives are pre-ordained. He may count the hairs upon our heads, but he gives us room for free choice -- else we'd be nothing more than fleshy automatons. My son has a TV in his room: I know it's there and I know he sneaks to watch it; but, I give him space to make the right decision -- and he usually does. To my mind, it's the same with God: he knows we're living with temptation; he gives us space to make the right choices.

And, if entry to Heaven or Hell is preordained, then, why would anyone choose to follow the right path? Good or evil, if your entry was preordained, it wouldn't make a difference.

Should have been "…anyone [saying]…" excuse my fingers.
