"The" question?

Question

To whom does one owe the pleasure of living
This collection of cells and bit of soul stuff
Random circumstance, in a universe unforgiving
Coalesced to make me, oddly enough

To whom do I pray, who owns my allegiance
Who is responsible, who’s in control
Who do I speak with, when I have a grievance
Who do I bow to, who’s virtues extol

Who do I blame for my continuing senescence
Who is accountable for the weight of my soul
Who will I see, when I discharge my essence
Who eviscerates me, while leaving me whole

Some may think these are rhetorical questions
That the answers are something I’ll never know
For those of that mind I have a suggestion
Only in the seeking, can wisdom bestow

Answer 1

The mystery of existence of self and world inspires me to wonder and dream. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? When am I? How am I? Why am I? I think these grand enigmatic questions of identity involve infinite elements hidden beyond the grasp of the senses and tools of my fractal infernal temporal seed body. I believe the divine eternal essence of finite self and infinite world transcend energy space and time. Even with all the marvels of modern scientific achievement, super computers, space telescopes, and electron microscopes once one attempts to describe the mechanism that created our universe, one has crossed over from truth and knowledge based on scientifically reproducible discovery to myth.

Within our global culture, communities of faithful believers self organize around a favored way of ornamenting a model of self and world with myth. This way of ornamenting a model of self and world with myth helps communities of faithful believers to create an identity for themselves. With their favored ways of ornamenting a model of self and world with myth communities of faithful believers answer the grand enigmatic questions of identity. They explain to themselves and to the rest of the global culture who, what, where, when, how and why they are and how they came into existence. Through art, music, drama, science and ideology they communicate myths of creation and existence. With myths of creation and existence, they fashion reality.

It may be of paramount importance to our continued survival that we learn to answer these grand enigmatic questions of identity in a manner that leads us to have the highest esteem of self and world we can possibly imagine. Perhaps if we recognize the limitations of the senses, and adopt an agnostic position; and we ornament a model of self and world with myth and fantasy that produces the most powerful emotional response of joy, faith and love that we can possibly imagine then we will put ourselves in the best possible position to take control of our emotions, overcome obstacles, and progress towards victory. Maybe if we devote energy, space, and time to thoughts, beliefs, and expectations about higher self and higher world then may be this will lead to a higher future.

Good questions and good poetry. But I hope you aren't expecting definite answers for nobody is qualified to give definite answers (although there are those who are arrogant enough to think they know all the answers) - you will only hear beliefs and opinions - which may or may not be true.
