The mind, more than to seek answers, is designed to even ask more questions.

If choice is what makes man free, why then were we not able to choose if we want to live or not, or who our parents will be?
Is to live in the “here and the now” possible – when “now” is inabsolute and always passing? Is now this minute, this hour, this day, this year or this lifetime?
Why would the universe be so unfathomably expansive if only earth would be the inhabited planet? In the light that other forms of life exists somewhere else in this cosmos, do they know God as we do? Do they seek salvation also? Do they also think that they have free will? Would they have heads and feet like humans do?
If love is universal, then why does race, gender, age have to matter? Why can’t we just love anyone we feel like loving?
Is it really possible to give without expecting anything in return? Do we give because it feels good to give? If it feels good to give, then isn’t the act of giving an egocentric act we do to gratify our emotional needs?
Why do all birds have wings and yet some of them can’t fly?
If modern science interferes with the natural processes of life (in the sense that we use artificial means of fertilization and we postpone death by medical means) then why did nature permit humans and their brains to evolve, making them capable of discovering to do so? Isn’t progress a natural course of life also?
If time exists in the universe, and not that the universe exists in time, then will anything ever come to an end?
If all men are created equal, then how did the concept of ‘envy’ arise? Why do we still will something to become of ourselves? Are we not okay as we already are or are we instead made inequal, and are struggling for equality?
Can we be free without being responsible? Then why do we feel captives of our responsibilities?
Does religion put together people or does it segregate among peoples?
Those are on the top of my head right now. I believe there are more to come. I can answer some of those too, but I am interested in hearing others’ perspectives. Feel free to toss your coins.
