I think of all the questions, the one which should least bother us is "
...what people really think of you?"

We do disagree Jake! :D I guess the way I see it is that even if a question doesn't have an answer, doesn't mean we can't ask it! It's different if we dwell on the what ifs...that I understand is a way of getting stuck in a rut...but asking questions even when we may be aware there aren't necessarily answers don't make them stupid. Even with religion and astrology...if we didn't ask questions, we'd all probably be like those people who get brainwashed and part of cults!

Great questions. Sometimes you find the answers, sometimes it's too late. Just go through life giving it your best, do things from your heart and you won't have many regrets.

Aaaaah finally we disagree .... a good opportunity to fight .
As far as I am concerned , ALL the questions I asked are stupid physc, let me tell you why. Lets take the question of life for example, whats the point to life is probably the most important question humanity has every asked. The problem is its a question that very well might not have an answer, reminds me of this time when my dad asked me why a keyboard is called a keyboard, my answer was "well, because its a board with keys on it", he went on to ask but why name it keyboard, why not typeboard . I was like "its just a name, you call it fred or bambi if you want to, whats the big deal". Its just like that, human beings have this inherent nature to question things which is good, its got us where we are but it also gave us BS like religion and astrology.

I'm not saying you shouldn't question things, just that sometimes its best not to think about the what ifs , they are just to product of mind's yearning for more.

It would take the charm out of it PB. Wait for it, you will get the instincts that will lead you in the direction you need to go. Sometimes from the most chaotic situations we learn the best lessons of life. :)

Sadly RH, you're right. I just wish sometimes I had a crystal ball for some questions to see how things would work out! :-S

2012-01-08T08:44:19.267+11:00

Exactly Venice...there will always be more questions that will pop up. I wonder whether we are just more neurotic and whether that's why we are plagued with these questions in the face of uncertainty. Sigh...I hope you are able to get some answers...

Oh Nids...I know that feeling!! I remember quitting my two part time jobs in 2009 and getting into one full time one and wondering similar things...esp as I was taking a paycut! Good luck with the new phase in life! :D

2012-01-08T08:41:34.749+11:00

It helps knowing others go through similar thoughts R.Bit...and wouldn't it be nice if we could sometimes have a crystal ball to be able to 'know' how things will pan out??

2012-01-08T08:40:41.556+11:00

You make perfect sense Nirali when you say do something because it makes you happy NOW. However, me being a bit neurotic, still needs something about the future...some guarantee almost. I just wish I could get out of my own head for a while! :P

2012-01-08T08:39:26.353+11:00

Exactly...life always makes sense in hindsight! I just wish though sometimes, we had a crystal ball to be able to see that! :P

2012-01-08T02:15:40.019+11:00

Only when the present critical period is over, all the pieces of puzzle fall in place and we can see in stark clarity the meaning of it all. In retrospect, all things appear clear and make sense one way or the other. Am I making any sense?

2012-01-08T00:58:57.113+11:00

Even I've been hounded by these questions since over a month... I've got nowhere close to the answers... it feels like hanging in mid-air wondering what wind will blow you, and from which direction. Sighhh, time... that's the only factor to get us near some answers, though I doubt if all our questions will be ever answered, because there will always be a new question added to the list as we age.

Ideal page for me to read today. My last day at my first job :)

2012-01-07T20:04:11.634+11:00

I wish had words of wisdom, but I don't. I guess all I can say is, it happens to all of us at some point. I wrote this post -
http://legally-alien.blogspot.com/2010/07/life-question-mark.html when I was having a similar sort of "crisis". And I think at the end of it, you don't really "know" but just have faith in yourself and know you did the best you could.

2012-01-07T18:55:01.512+11:00

Life is all about not knowing and yet doing the things we do . Why do we need a motivation or reason to do something or , assurance of your action's success . Do it because it makes you happy NOW , in this moment . Enjoy the delicious ambiguity =)

2012-01-07T13:52:50.601+11:00

Will do T! Although I doubt I'll ever figure them out. I was hoping at least somebody would have some of the answers! But no such luck! Sigh.

That book sounds interesting...adding it to the list!! :)

2012-01-07T13:51:51.459+11:00

Ah someone else experiencing this currently! Rightly said Maddie...all the uncertainty, doubt, unpredictablity all make us umcomfortable...and it makes it harder to experience the moments with those doubts!

2012-01-07T13:50:14.184+11:00

That's the problem though Ekta...that we don't know the answers until we experience it! :S Unfortunately sometimes, it's hard to relish those moments that are so filled with anxiety...
