Is it economic, psychological, philosophical? Is it something best done alone, with a friend, in public? Should you share it, sell it, or keep it to yourself? Do you know what it is, think you know what it is, or do you think it's unknowable. Will you take this seriously; what, do you think this is a joke? or will you just try to answer as well as you can?

"WHO AM I?" If you can answer this question , honestly, you are way ahead of the game. If you can know yourself, learn to love and accept yourself as you are, without judgment, your life will be much easier. If you can't love yourself, how can you expect others to love you? If you can't understand yourself, how can you expect to understand others? Understanding yourself and loving yourself are the keys to a life of integrity. Everything else pales in comparison. Good luck.

No this isnt a joke question. I would think it would come under the heading of philosophical. And that answer is Why am I here and what purpose do I have in this life? My life somewhere has one but I havent found it. Maybe I have and just havent realized it yet. Death in the family a month ago. now today i found out that a woman I went to school with passed away from unknown causes. I have been on the phone calling and receiving calls from classmates wanting to know what hap pend. So maybe my calling is consulting.. Just a person to be there when the times are bad. Good question. Made me think. I would share this. Hope I answered what you asked.

I think most of the general questions have an answer.
Q: Who am I?
A: An animal at the head of nature's chain.
Q: What is my purpose?
A: Survive (trough evolution) and replicate.
etc.
So each second is a question of how will you fulfill that purpose and it will have an answer. So there is no general question you can put yourself...and the most important ones are not the general ones but the specifics.

remember the quote - 'I think, therefore I AM' - how presumptuous. How do we define ourselves - by act, thought, or deed. (they are different). I would say thought - the main gift given to us that allows us to transcend the dimension of the pure animal. Any thought which can be shared freely with all of mankind who may choose to listen, is the best we can do. The most important question = " what can you give of yourself, that you are willing to share freely among all". In a world of profit based motivations, this is the most valuable commodity of all - the free exchange of knowledge. Let us teach each other, one and all.

Different day, Different question.
Some sick twisted joke that keeps us going day to day.
Love one day, money the next, then the opposite.
Some days you want to believe in a god, some days it is impossible.
Some days it is all an illusion, some days it is all reality.
Some days you are king of the world. Somedays you are floating in frigid waters (Had to add that. I hope you get the pun!)
Make up your own answer or pick one that best suits your mood.
Then that answer will change as you age.

The most important question we have to ask ourselves?
Whether you personally believe this life is all that we're given - and if you do, are you happy with how you've spent it.

Don't ask what good the World can do for you, but what good you can do for your World. We all look for happiness by helping ourselves but it is in helping others that we find the truest and purest happiness.

Have I become the best person I could possible be?
