Questions that people 100 years ago would have thought we would have the answers to by now:
-Where in the brain or the physical body does the soul exist?
-Are we the only free-thinking, sentient beings in the universe?
-What happens to matter at the speed of light?
-How long can a man or woman live, can we live eternally?
-Where does our mind go when we sleep; why do we dream?
-Where do our spirits go after death?
-Is existence predetermined, or full of uncertainty?
-Why are we inclined to kill one another?
----------------------------------------------------
Millions of people have pondered these questions through the ages and years, yet it is startling that even today in such an empire of computers, that there can be such questions we still have no answers to. They are perpetual questions that bubble up from within us, evoke strong emotions and feelings of doubt and distress.
How is it that such hefty questions still go unanswered, as if no one was trying; trying we are. Like paradoxes the questions seem to act as statements, prompting us endless other questions without answers.
