I agree with you brownman that we should continually ask the age old question, Why?. You have to be able to question an aspect of life and to seek the answer or else nothing would ever change. Think about Sir Isaac Newton when he discovered gravity. Had he not questioned why the apple fell from the tree and hit him in the head, physics as we know it probably wouldn't exist. This is the same for numerous events in history. And it doesn't just apply to human history, but also to biblical teachings. The bible even says that you must question God and his teachings to achieve a higher understanding. Even we, as people, didn't question the everyday, everything would be so much different. There have been several nights that I've sat outside looking at the stars and wondered why we, meaning humans, are here, something every philosopher to past and to come has asked. I whole heartedly believe that I, nor anyone else, will know until you stand before Him on your final day. I want to say that the day my son was born I figured out why I'm personally here though, and I still believe that taking care of and raising my family isn't my only purpose in life. The rest, I will just have to wait for time to pass before I'll know and I can't wait to find out. I've known for a long time that we're all here for a reason, we just have to make sure that we make the best choices we can in life and can fulfill that purpose.
