Neutrality of why

A life full of decisions is the result from all of its questions. Do we ask the right questions? Do we ask enough questions? When we are presented with a problem we use our experiences to determine an answer. Do we ask the question why enough? Why do I feel this is the right answer? To ask why creates a blank canvas to possibly paint a different picture. The answer to that question leads to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.

Children constantly ask the question why. Why? They are trying constantly to understand the world they live in. So why as adults it seems we ask why less and less, if at all. Do we think when we become adults we know all? Yet how many adults still feel lost at times? “Adult” is only a title one day removed from teenager. So they call us an adult and then we are almost expected to know what we are doing here. Once one believes they do, and stop asking why, progress ends.

What could be the harm in asking why? Are we afraid to truly understand who we are? If someone is asked why they believe something they can either explain for deeper knowledge or possibly get angry. Why would they become angry when asked a harmless question? Are they mad because they believe what they know is the absolute truth? Who is someone to think what they know is fact? It’s good to have passion about beliefs but to have that much pride and ego will stop someone from progressing. On the other hand, to think what you know is never right will cause you to remain lost. Or have you ever been called a “know it all” when asking why to someone’s belief? Funny.

What has happened in our lives that caused us to think the way we do? And are those forces for good or for evil. Many things we have been taught by others are results from their experiences which can pass on their fears to us. Our life is our own. It’s hard to find our own paths making decisions based off the result of another’s experience. Placed in the same position and make the same decision can lead to a different result for each person. Take a roulette table for example. We can watch a video of someone with a profitable experience, for us to place the same bets and have a completely different result. Life isn’t a gamble, it’s a purpose. To read the Bible and use it’s teachings to determine a different way to make our choices might lead down a better path. A path that will lead to our own purpose in this life and give an answer to why….
