"The important thing is not to stop questioning, curiosity has its own reason for existing."
~ Albert Einstein
Do you ever wonder if life has an arriving point?
Or is it a moving plane with no destination?
If we were to say that someone has arrived or reached their destination,
Would that mean they possess the ultimate knowledge?
But then again, how do we measure the ultimate knowledge?
Out of the many possibilities and impossibilities of life,
How do we tell apart what we really know from that we don't know?
How do we tell apart what is from what we think is?
When we pay to be educated, what are we seeking?
To leave with an understanding and knowledge or to leave with a qualification?
Which then raises a question of comparing two concepts,
The concepts of learning, as opposed to that of passing.
Do you read to learn or do you read to pass?
Are you a leader, or a follower?
Do you play it safe and follow in others' paths?
Or do you turn rough roads into highways?
Are your dreams goals you work to achieve when you wake?
Or do they remain land locked in your mind?
Will you build your dreams or help others build theirs?
Do you know the difference between that which you need as opposed to that you want?
What is your definition of success?
Do you equate financial gain to happiness?
How far are you willing to go to achieve it?
Are you ready to sacrifice your integrity for fortune?
Why do you learn rules and concepts that are already there?
Do you learn them to follow or to guide you make your own?
Do you believe in how much you can achieve and in the greatness in you,
Or do let people along the way put you down and tell you you're no good?
The Law talks about 'the reasonable person' standard,
Societies way of defining what is and what isn't as per the common standard.
But if we were all created differently with different strengths and weaknesses,
How then can there be a common standard?
How can students with different abilities be tested the same?
How do we tell the 'intelligent' and the 'dumb' apart?
And is there even such a thing?
After all, if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it is bound to fail no?
Why do some have everything yet others nothing?
Why do some build large castles with pools,
While others live in shacks with no water,
If we are all bound to disappear in the end?
Why is peace ironically more expensive than war?
If we do learn from our mistakes, why do the wars keep spreading?
Will we ever have peace or will the world only find peace when all is lost at war?
Where will our souls travel to then? Eternal darkness or eternal paradise?
Will we be questioned for that which we could have done but didn't do?
Do all dictators actually go to hell or is death their ticket from justice?
Is there really such a thing as hell?
Or is it an item of our creation to console us for that which we failed to stop?
Do you have answers to all these questions?
How do you know your answers are the correct answers?
And how can I oppose you claiming they are not?
Please don't ask me why i'm asking all them questions, just use them in whatever way you see fit, if any :D

For real, I was expecting to find a dozen responses upon reading this. But then again I can understand the lack of..seeing as it would be a rather endless thread of theories and self contemplated conclusions. I'd like to know your take on some of these questions and even give you mine. Perhaps a skype chat sometime, my fingers arent up for the challange my mind is proposing haha.

Haha my apologies! But precisely! It would just be an "endless thread of theories and self contemplated conclusions" so I preferred to just provoke thought and allow everyone to draw their own conclusions. Most definitely! Would love that! haha we'd have quite a number of essays to write there! Will inbox you my skype add then we can talk sometime :) xx
