Why do we need answers?

Answer 1

I don't know...why do we need questions?????????????????

Answer 2

I think the Philosophical reasoning behind the need for Answers, comes from the birthing of man, and then woman.
Obviously we could not do it on our own, but ever since the Great Creator put woman on the planet, there has been this Question of WHY?
Why did He have to take a rib from me to make her.
Well We are from the dust, she should be from, oh, uh...you know, something besides a rib, from man.
So then, it just escalades.
Why did we have to name all the animals?
Why do we have to be the hunters?
Why do we have to work til we drop, just to sustain that which came from or is derived from us?
See ...Do you need more?
Actually I think this answer makes me sound pretty gay, so just forget about all that...
back to the Q. ...
We don't need any answers, we are all just so dam* bored off our as*es that we need a place to vent our frustrations, and there is a few othere places or ways to do that, but come on, atleast this is legal, and you don't generally wake up with a headache in the morning.
There good enough for Ten?
Maybe not huh, but I want the ten anyway.
So you know, there is no better answer as to why we need answers.

Answer 3

We need answers as a matter of survival. It's really just a highly developed survival instinct (sorry, creationists).

Think of it in terms of finding food. Any animal or insect that cannot find food in places it is accustomed to finding it will address the problem by venturing out and looking in other places. I may even recognize that it is more likely to find food in places that have similarities to the original environment. It can learn to look near water. It can also learn to avoid other predators. The higher any animals brain functioning, the more it can deduce about any situation and learn to use past experiences to better increase its ability to fend for itself.

With our intelligence we form those instincts into coherent thought. We think "Crap! There are no more antelope here! Must find more antelope! Hmmm, If I were an antelope where would I be? Well, there are lions over there so they won't be there because they don't like lions but there's water in the other direction and no lions. I wonder if there might be a nice, tasty antelope..."

Even when we aren't struggling to survive we still think. We still posses the same curiosity and the same desire to increase our likelihood of survival just in case.

It's like domestic cats and dogs. They don't have any need to hunt and stake out territory but they continue to do so. These instincts kept their species thriving for millenia just as our instinct to question and understand, our instinct to search for meaning, has helped us to thrive.

Answer 4

This is the decision that each of makes in terms of needs and wants. I consider a need to be something that cannot be lived without. I can live without answers. I will not die without answers. Therefore, I consider an answer a want.

Answer 5

We need answers because we couldn't survive without them.

We solve problems in order to survive. An answer is a solution to a problem, whether the question was asked or only implied, such as a pre-verbal "How the H can I get out of this crib?" (or a silent-to-the-mind, "Where are my keys?")

Answer 6

We need answers because we have so many questions, and if they don't get answered, we aren't at ease or we may not have a sound thinking. We want our questions to have answers. But there'll always be questions that won't have answers.

Answer 7

You not have any children? At an early age we ask, "Why"?, "Why is the world round"?, Why do I have to go to school"? Many parents answered with the proverbial; "Because"!
So, as we grow older we still asking "Why"? But, in a more elaborate way.
It is a psychological problem stemming from a childhood dilemma. It, "Because".

Answer 8

I think the question should be why do we want answers? I suppose in some cases we need answers, but otherwise it is to satisfy our questioning of what is unknown.

Answer 9

Because we never run out of questions to satisfy both our curiosity, intelligence, and learning. Knowledge is never ending. As I think Mark Twain said. "I never let schooling interfere with my education" If he said it then he was right.

Answer 10

because we have questions that we really do not know the answer...just like you, you have just asked this question because you need answers for your question...



thanks!

Answer 11

I guess for the same reasons we feel the need to ask questions.
