Dont we have theories upon theories?
Has the word and its given meaning robbed us?
Arnt we second hand people with a head full of each others expanations?
What are the mysteries of life and the fact that we are here?

I believe this is correct. Life is not a question but the answer to all our questions. We ask question about life and seek answers in words; we should instead ask questions about ourselves and seek answers in life.
When we endure life we ask rhetorical questions - what is the meaning of all this, what is life and my existence into it? Is all this real or a dream? When we do so we quite forget that this is the very thing our life is all about – to live, to experience and to feel alive in true sense, to feel not only as a small part of life but life itself all in acceptance. What is life? The answer is life, there cannot be anything else. If for example I ask - who am I? The best answer is my own self. No other person, a book or a method can explain my existence better than my entire self when given as a proof of myself.

Not by far my good man! No one has been able to give a solid explanation of anything. Things such as why are we here, How did the universe come to be, anything along those lines is still open for debate. It's not over by a long shot and never will be! That's the beauty of it!
The only way you can say things have been explained away are if you personally come to your own conclusions. Even then something might come along and change your view, some thing that wasn't thought of before.
Sure there a alot of possible answers and solutions out there but not everyone agrees with them. Therefore the are unanswered.
Don't let this get you down. It's a whole big world out there. Remember the saying, "Try and learn something new everyday."? That's the best one could hope for. You won't unlock the answers for eveyone but even if you do it for yourself it's worth it.
When you were a kid everything was new and exciting. As you get older that excitement goes away and you just get jaded by life. If you have kids watch them and remember what it was like to be them. As bad as things are right now the world is still an exciting place full of knowledge waiting to be taken. All you have to do is go and get it!

No. The big myths may have reasons and statements all about them which seemingly explain everything. Like the big bang. But how many do you believe? And what parts do you believe? And what about the little things in life? There is always something that hasn't got an explanation, no reason for its happening, or where it is. With the birth of a baby we all have a good idea about how it got there in the first place even down to the electrical paths that formed thoughts in the brain, but why does a child have the thoughts that they have? Why do they think what they think? How do they come up with the thoughts?
Do you get what I mean?

It depends on your point of view. For me the answer is no.
I try to go through life with the OHH factor still in place. Sort of like to excitement a young child has when he/she is excited about the wonderful things that happends around him/her.
Even though I know why and how leaves change colors that doesn't change my excitement to see the leaves change colors in the fall.
Now that does mean I am naive. I just try to go through life with excitement instead of drugery. I am still asking questions about what I see and understand about life. Oh sometimes the drugery comes on but I do my best to shake it off.
Ok so you may say I have a pollyanna outlook on life. May be to you I do but at least I still get excited about life. Thanks

not convincingly, obviously. i mean, in the wealthiest country in the world, many still refuse to acknowledge the theory of evolution. some people follow religions that they believe give them certainty on issues like the afterlife yet there is no concensus among them about what it is and how to achieve it. is it heaven, reincarnation or nirvana ? and that's just those that choose to believe. i think there is so much that we do not know and can never know.

If you have to ask then clearly it wasn't explained very well.
There must be something lacking, then, in every explanation put forth, something that doesn't seem right. It's down to us, then, to work out what that "something" is. Whatever it is, I doubt it can be explained with a few equations and an eight syllable name.

Yes, Dad has explained to me that there are no monsters in my closet or fairies surrounding my head protecting me from them.
Personally, I hope he's right about the monsters. I am holding on to Tinkerbell.

Yes- but only by humans in human languages and pictures but take that away and you may get the truth- not superstition, subjectiveness, experts reviews or myth!

The mystery remaining is why people still reject God, when He is the one who gives meaning to life.
