I ask myself why things come to be, why events happen, what the future holds and sometimes why we exist at all. My mind at the slightest free time row on chaotic boundless sea of thoughts and in the end, I accept life to be what it is.
"For after all the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The question "why" seem to be the most important everyday of our lives. It exposes the purpose for anything when answers are gotten. While growing up, "why" is the only way we understand the happenings of this world but now as youths, they expect that we get answers to our why questions and surprisingly the world is changing and so are it's events.
Now I ask myself why I am doing a thing, I strife to get my answer so that I can be effective at it. I once asked myself why I write and the only answer I got was "to leave the cage of brooding, not to get fixated in my own world and ultimately reach out to the world". I think this is enough reason to get me to write more and interestingly it has been effective.
How often do we ask ourselves the question "why". Asking "why" gives purpose to our dealings thereby eliminating confusions and baseless assumptions. Yes, we can never know anything with complete certainty but with purpose we can find something we can believe in.

"The purpose is an answer to your each why, source of your every action, your indomitable will to pursue, a path to inner peace and fulfilment."- Anand Patwa
Finally, C. S Lewis once said "if I find myself in a world where I hunger for food I must believe that I was created to eat." In the same vein, we must believe that our existence is to fulfill that one purpose we find ourselves believing in.




The best answer you could ever give your doubting self is knowing your purpose. And to do this, you have to set out on a journey of self discovery. In all, you'll be glad you did yourself a favour by doing this. Thanks for this wonderful piece Pachanise. Keep blazing!
ReplyDeleteSo my question is Why is the write-up so long?, Why does it seem quite difficult for the one who isn't into poem to flow along?, Why does it have to engage a deep thinking with a probability of getting the full message...
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a first post on your blog dear, but we can do better.
Yours Sincerely, Sam...
Hmm. Thank you for observation
DeleteParanchise.... Growing up we don't ask 'why' but now, we just have to ask 'why'
ReplyDeleteAt a young age, you ask "why" out curiosity but as an adult you understand "why" yourself

DeleteThe childhood 'why' maybe out of curiosity. But as as we grow older, it is in pursuit of ones identity, ones purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe question of ? is a question for life
ReplyDelete💯
DeleteThe world we found ourselves is a materialistic world and from this world we have our question solved or unsolved, that's why the question "why" remains a subject of the mind but an object of uncertainties in the physical realms. Thanks . It's a piece of little drops but deep thought.
