I'm going through that phase of asking different questions about life. My best friend was murdered a few months ago and thats pretty much what started this flow of questioning. I mentioned it to my doctor, and he said something to the effect that only about 3% of people take the time, go through, and question what I am now. Have any of you gone through this? Of course I'm aware that theres no specific amount of time that this is going to last....I'm really just wanting a ballpark idea of how long. Any thoughts?..experiences?..ect.
Thanks for your help!!

Grief is something this society does not let you experience.Anger is something that everyone thinks of as the"bad" emotion.You probably are both.It is an awful thing that happened to your friend and you have every right to question life and its meaning.If you go through your feelings and keep questioning life, you will be alright.
I do not think that you have to put a time limit on your questioning.Don't do that.Pray for your friend.I believe in re-incarnation.Pray that they don't get hurt in their next life.
Peace to you.

Only 3%??? I have been doing this for my entire life!!! I find it difficult to believe that there are not (a great many) others who do not do this too!
Perhaps I simply misunderstand! But I have found it of benifit to question everything we are and do! My (our) daily lives are always in question. Do we even exist or is it all a dream? Is there truely a God (me thinks so)?! The meaning of life? The reason for our existance? What happens after death? Is death the end?
To not question life and our existance would be totally wrong and improper!
Do I misunderstand your question?

Unless one becomes fully self realize (beyond all misery and fear) if they stop asking questions then they have stopped growing. We should keep questioning until we are completely satisfied and beyond all misery. Want all answers to the most important questions in life.

You'll keep questioning until you get the answers that satisfy you.
Sometimes that takes quite awhile.
Pay attention to what you are drawn to, because it may hold answers for you.
For me, I had to research near death experiences, because I had not died, and I only trusted those who had died to know what it was like.
After noting the commonalities I was able to move on. For you, it may be something entirely different.
Blessings & Live well

45.
My daughter was killed in a tragic accident, my husband got cancer and went on chemo, we had to put our dog down and our cat down, and that happened 3 years ago, but I already stopped questioning life at 45, because by then I had already lost my parents.
Life is an adventure and you have to take the good with the bad.
Life happens.
Life has it's ups and downs, but mainly ups, and it's a frame of mind.
You really have to roll with the punches.
Good luck and may the force be with you!
