From day to day, we meet various challenges that offer opportunities for mental, physical and emotional maturity. As we ask questions, we also try our best to find answers to them.
A poem that I would like to share to all of you..
There are things I can't explain,
Things that puzzle the mind,
Questions for which I need
Satisfactory answers to find.
Why the dew on the grass?
Why do flowers die?
Why death of beauteous things?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why the night, why the day?
Why, the lightnings blinding flash?
Why, the winds mighty roar?
Why, the thunder's deafening crash?
Why do eyes open and close?
Why can't they keep open?
And why do they open when I want
Them shut tight in sleep?
Why these things I can't explain;
But here,I am where destiny brings;
My books I read by night and day,
Soon to learn the why of things.

Ahh.. We all have our why's.. We all have our questions. I guess that's what makes our lives beautiful. We try to find the answers to all our why's as we mature and as we trod through life. Sometimes we don't. Sometimes we are real lucky and get the answers.

Nice poem you got there. I guess that's what we're here for, to ask questions and find the answers to them ourselves. But if we have faith and believe in a greater Being, we can call Him any name, we believe He is the answer to the puzzles and questions you asked in your poem. And He has his reasons for doing those. In His time, you will find the reasons.

we ask because we don't know a lot of thing. a lot about life remains to be a mystery. not everything about things have explanation to them. scientists are finding ways to explain perplexing, situations and things but they don't always succeed.life is a living mystery and when YOU THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT LIFE THEN YOU KNOW NOTHING.
