The most important question is Why?

So many questions, Why am I in ... Why do I have . . . Why etc... But before this one should first of all aks "Who am I ".
If one does not know one's identity, then what is the use. Jesus Christ told in Bible that there is no use even if one gains the whole world but does not understand that one is not the body but soul and loses the soul. Am I , this temporary body going to die in hundred years. Am I, the external body of American, Indian, African etc. . .
" Who Am I"? with other question was put forward, five hundred years ago, to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu by Srila Sanatana Gosvami which appears in Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya Lila, chapter 20, verse 99 to 109.
Sanatana Gosvami asked,
“Who am I? Why do the threefold miseries always give me trouble? If I do not know this, how can I be benefited?. Actually I do not know how to inquire about the goal of life and the process for obtaining it. Being merciful upon me, please explain all these truths.”
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu relplied with other answers,
“It is the living entity’s constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Krishna because he is the marginal energy of Krishna and a manifestation simultaneously one with and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Krishna has three varieties of energy.
Below is the purport to above verse by, A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains these verses as follows: Sri Sanatana Gosvami asked Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, “Who am I?” In answer, the Lord replied, “You are a pure living entity. You are neither the gross material body nor the subtle body composed of mind and intelligence. Actually you are a spirit soul, eternally part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, Krishna . Therefore you are His eternal servant. You belong to Krishna 's marginal potency. There are two worlds—the spiritual world and the material world—and you are situated between the material and spiritual potencies. You have a relationship with both the material and the spiritual world; therefore you are called the marginal potency. You are related with Krishna as one and simultaneously different. Because you are spirit soul, you are one in quality with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but because you are a very minute particle of spirit soul, you are different from the Supreme Soul. Therefore your position is simultaneously one with and different from the Supreme Soul. The examples given are those of the sun itself and the small particles of sunshine and of a blazing fire and the small particles of fire.” Another explanation of these verses can be found in Adi-lila, Chapter Two, verse 96.

There's only one question: Who am I?
Are you really Joe Blow, with such and such a job, whatever weight, whatever colour, whatever gender, etc.? All of those things are impermanent.
Who am I?
Of course you are the presence in which your life unfolds.

The main reason we ask questions is "to know is to feel secure". The unknown is frightening, so we question.
Every question is important at every stage of life so that as answers are revealed to us, either by experience or observation, we can go on and set our priorities to have as an enriched life as possible.

Am I happy?
Am I loved?
Stop asking the why questions because you frustrate your self but instead ask questions with a positive tone? The answers come easier and relieves the pressure of the question.

You are here. Your most important question should be: "what will I do with my life". Since you are old enough to pose a question, you should be old enought to answer. My life is, and I will do. what I wish, to fulfill, my meaning. What is your meaning in life? Do that. If you can't, then what is the purpose? Find purpose.

What do you mean by questions? Yeah, life is full of questions. Trust your gut.
You weren't in jail, you were being taken care of.
Things have a funny way of working themselves out.
Obey, no. Compromise, yes.
Because you are scared. Everybody is scared on some level. EVERYBODY!!

The question is the trap. To be caught up in the question separates you from the moment. Life is not about the question or the answer, it is simply itself, life.

More of the same in the next life if you had not acquired the knack in this one.
