Tell me Ashley is the reason for this thread to answer another question posed by some
exams you are doing?
For me there have been many questions that have arisen over the years,but the most
persistant one has to be,what am I?And where do I Really come from?These have in
effect been answered,so now the question is;accept the answer,and live within the day,
and expect the unexpected!

Wow.. Hey all..
I quite often forget where I put things.. like this thread..
and Michael.. the answer to your question of "why I am asking this question".. may be unexpected.. surprisingly.. probably for reasons of
insanity.. I have asked many people this question..
While I was at work.. and quite possibly needed entertaining..

A very simple question we all take for granted.. there may indeed be more than one answer.. |
Of course Michael.. individual people have individual questions.. Quite often.. the questions of an individual.. become relative to another individual.. whom has asked a similar question in a different context.. however.. when united questions.. seek an individual answer.. the questions and therefore answers.. become a unified mission.. such as TOE
Anyway.. we all live in question and it is inevitable that through the stages of growth there will be more than one question and answer.. leading to the bigger picture..??
Actually there are 6 questions humanity seek to answer.. What.. where.. who.. when and how.. and in among all of these questions we seek to ask why.. ?? And these questions have evolved as humanity has evolved for hundreds of years.. not to mention thousands..
I write this with the suggestion .. why is the biggest question of all time.. although "are you my mother?" was a good one.. and in a world full of question.. we seldom stop to ask why we thought of her as our mother.. she coulda been anyone..??
As soon as our children learn how to walk .. they learn how to talk.. and we begin teaching them who.. what.. and where.. mostly for safety.. and as kids are not programmed as such to ask why.. they trust what their parents say as the truth..
How many children do you know whom ask why.. usually this happens around the age of 7 or 8 dependant upon other circumstnaces.. and mostly because children want to know .. why they are not allowed to do something or have something..
And then one day it just so happens that the children find dad under the xmas tree making out with the tooth fairy.. or what appears to be the tooth fairy but is really mum .. and dad.. and the whole santa story is let out of the sack.. along with the easter bunny and tooth fairy.. around the age of 6 children learn santa isnt real.. Chances are they were gonna find out anyway.. as kids whisper among themselves.. the fantasy or illusion we create for our kids ultimately ends..!!
We never explain to our kids.. why we lied or created this illusion or fantasy.. and as parents.. its inevitable we will pass this tradition onto our kids.. without ever knowing why or how.. we simply think this is what happens and act accordingly along with every other tradition..
We live with the basic questions until mostly a major event occurs.. spurring us to ask more questions.. mostly when something of value falls around us in a crashing heap.. just like my pile of bricks that moments before resembles a house..
Imagine the temples of Giza falling.. what question would we ask.. at present we seek to answer how they were built.. and when .. many theories have been built around these questions without ever questioning in depth why they were built..
All I know at present.. is that in order to ask why.. one first of all needs to answer all the questions before.. like who what where when and how..
I'll tie it all in later.. after reading the comments.. thanks for all your replies..

(Michael you asked what my biggest question was.. and I asked it.. in the very first post.. however.. as I thoerise lifes biggest question to be "why".. my answer would have to be.. "why not")
