General Questions and Profound Thoughts

I ask questions. So does everyone else in the world. However many questions we ask, there is never a guarantee as to if we'll get the answers. Sometimes, with easy questions, it doesn't really matter. But the other questions we have...sometimes those don't ever get answered. Everything is an investigation, and when that happens, we try our best to be sleuths. Even the best detectives come up short with answers. But just because we aren't promised answers, does that mean we should stop asking?

That was question #1.

We can think about anything that we want to, and yet 50% of the time we don't think at all. We have brains for a reason, but is thinking one of those reasons? (question #2) I'm such a huge endorser of thinking, I never stopped to think of why I advocate it so fervently. Why is thinking such a good thing, and is it really a good thing at all? Why is it so important to develop your thought processes and opinions?
So many things happen in our world every day. Good things are far out-wey the bad things. But people, especially young people, can just forget that it's all happening and continue with their daily lives. There are starving children, women being raped, people fighting for there lives from the effects of war, and somehow it doesn't seem to touch enough. It's so hard to look past the concerns you have to be concerned for others. Buy why is it so hard? (question #3)
Why do I feel the need to share my thoughts and opinions? Why do I feel so satisfied when I make someone see the truth of one thing or another? (question #4) Why is the truth so important? Is it because it hurts people? Because it shows them what's real and what isn't? Those aren't very good reasons to me.

I don't know any of these answers. There are always my opinions on these matters, but does my opinion matter when it's not true? What I'm saying is, don't take any of these questions to mean something opposed to what you believe is right. Don't get the impression that I'm trying to tell you the truth or thinking isn't important. I don't even know what I mean with half of this stuff.

I'll just leave you with this one last thought and some cool song suggestions (P.S. indie folk-influence is the genre of my music this week. But it isn't all that I listen too.):
