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.

There's a long line of questions in our minds and we still seek of answers, but sometimes it's already right in front of us yet we ignore it.

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.

I think you should wait then for the other topic that I am about to post. Do you know about the story of, "The Scholars & the Lion?" If you know the story, then I will not post anymore..


myLot reputation of 88/100. ladygam (362)   ranked 1,879 out of 10,237 in reading  3 years ago

Nope, I haven't heard of the story. Go on, post it. I'm anxious to see it.

(this is my second post.. the first one didnt appear so forgive if it got double posted)

tht is a pretty good poem. well humans and we are always hungry for knowledge and wisdom.. if we stop wondering and asking question that only means we are dead.
i also made a post to my blog about "why" hope you don mind if i post it here.:)

why?

isn't it sucks when you always have this questions in mind
questions you don't know where to ask
questions you don't even know where it comes from or where it started
questions that sometimes dictates how you should live your life!questions that suddenly popped up in the middle of your loneliness
or questions that suddenly appear in your halfway to work, or halfway home, or halfway to school or on the middle of your toilet session.

questions that eats you!and time comes when you become tired out of these questions
they remain unasked... remain unanswerable
but what if these questions is just your way of denial?denial to the things you want to refuse...
what if the answers to your question was already infront of you...
and you just can't accept it because its too sad...
but its true...

Don't worry about it(the post), it's no big deal with me. As long us we share same thoughts and agree on the subject, that's not a problem!;)

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.

Glad to hear that from you. I always do challenge myself in seeking for answers, and I know that someday it will all be answered..

But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (for ever). The Cow 25

When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah Hath sent down, "they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us:" yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say: "Why then have ye slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if ye did indeed believe?" The Cow 91

Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not Allah unto us? or why cometh not unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear the Signs unto any people who hold firmly to Faith (in their hearts). The Cow 118
