ReplyDeleteIs the history that we learn correct and not distorted or non-existent? What is the purpose of life and death? What is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle? Why there is no one language for the whole world? Where does the thought go when forgotten? Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Was what is happening now planned in advance? (I watched on social media that there is a cartoon series called The Simpsons that presented many of the events that are happening with us today, such as predicting the spread of the Corona virus and Trump’s victory in the previous elections and Beirut explosion and many expectations that occurred)

Who am I and how much do I hide things inside me? Does everyone really know me? Why am I alone most of the time? Why can't I find the right person who will understand me and stay by my side? Will I find it? Was he born or is he still in my imagination? How much will I suffer in my life yet and what will be the next step? Will I achieve my dream and make my father proud of me? Will I continue in this place and where will I go if I lose it? Am I really going to lose everything if I lose this last chance? What do I do more than what I do? Is there something I still wouldn't do? Who is more tired than me?

Where will I be after 10 or 20 years? Can I achieve my dreams? Will my parents see me graduate?
ReplyDeleteWill we live in peace oneday? Can I visit my homeland with my family? What will we do when we see our home there?

Everyone is curios about something. Everyone wants to find answers to all his questions. But for me I had a lot of questions that were running in my mind since I was a child, and they will continue to take my attention until I die. Why do we exist? How did the universe exist? Did God created everything? If yes, why do scientific clues deny this idea? Why do unbelievers go to hell although they might be good people? What was there before the universe existed or before god created the universe? If god doesn't exists what is the ultimate law that controls people's thoughts and actions ? How does the brain emit the ideas? Would animals be able to talk if they remained evolving?
