There are times when asking questions gets you nowhere. You end up with even more questions, and on occasion you get an answer that you don't want to hear.
Maybe I should just stop asking. There are people who accept everything as given, and don't bother to question why things are the way they are. They're content enough with that. The only people who have a problem with it are the people who ask questions.
Why do we ask questions? Is it because we're unhappy about the truth before us? Or just curious to make sense of everything around us? Or is it because we're all secretly looking for an absolute truth that we can accept and be happy with?
Nobody really wants to have to accept an unhappy truth. Having said that, when it comes to belief systems, I think the percentage of people who believe in the Unhappy Truth is increasing. The Unhappy Truth being that it all comes to nothing in the end.

Well, well, someone's in a rather philosophical mood today =)
I think we are compelled to ask questions both because we are unhappy about the truth that surrounds us and out of curiosity (playing doctor with the world =p)
I don't know about the unhappy truth, but one thing is for certain: no one truly knows, cause no one ever came back from that journey. Perhaps we will find out when someone figured out the art of ressurrecting a cadaver. ZOMBIES!!!! =p
