How do you live with questions the answers to which you do not find?

Answer 1

Answers are not things we have, but things we are.

Answer 2

I wish I could remember who said this. But one of my favorite philosophical quotes is: "To question is the answer". Another of my favorite quotes for which I have no source is "Perfection is death". A question with a pat answer is pretty dull and useless. It will take you nowhere. A good question should lead you on a journey where there will be many more great questions. This is the journey of knowledge and enlightenment. A few years ago I asked myself "What is the meaning of E=MC2?". The simple answer of course is Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. This opens the door to an enormous amount of new questions and has led me to the discovery of two centuries of fascinating minds and personalities: Micheal Faraday, Ernest Rutherford, Max Plank, Nils Boer, Irwin Schrodinger, Werner Heisenberg, Robert Oppenheimer, Richard P Feynman, and Roger Penrose. There are still the many questions that these gentleman asked, but their questions have led to many more fascinating questions that have led to the battery, Atomic power, Molecular bonding (plastics), the diode, as well as the very latest in nano technology. It is an Alice in Wonderland world out there and the journey continues.

Answer 3

Geeeeez, we all have questions that no one can answer for us. It's the human condition.
How do you live with that? Well, you learn to accept that there's just some things you're never going to know or understand. Evidence is NOT always available to give absolute positive proof. Sometimes you go on faith. You do that everyday you get into your car and trust that the ignition will fire up the engine, that the tires won't fall off, and that you will live to see the end of the day. You operate on faith in the things you DO know and you come to conclusions in your gut that gives you reason (with or without proof) to believe in the things you can't verify or prove; but gives you the greatest joy and positive results.

Answer 4

There are various answers to this question as posed. On one level the answer is inherent in the question. On another level you can illicit both mechanically negative or positive answers depending on the type or attitude of the answerer.

Getting to the basic truth as I see it, the answer will always present itself to the earnest questioner as long as there is no resistance to it. This may for the most part be found in contradictory beliefs. For example one will not find the answer to the question as to how to earn more money if one believes that an abundance of money is the work of the devil.

Therefore the short answer to your great question is to determine what it is that will not allow the answer to enter. This is a short answer but by no means a small job. Mastering this step leads to wisdom.

Answer 5

we do not truly live our lives till we find the answers to these questions! the answers which reveal our true inner self are there for us to find not ignore we must answer them before it is too late. However some questions are so deep that our are minds, souls and hearts get lost wandering into the depths its may look scary but without us exploring the inner depths of these questions we will never get to the base of our existence.

Answer 6

I never give up to find answers to my questions. If they are material enough, like "where do potatoes come from?" I just look into all kinds of reference books ot ask a question here. If it is something more difficult and spiritual I just live and develop and with time I find answers to the questions I've asked earlier.

Answer 7

To every questing there is an answer. Each question cannot begin without an end, as there would be no point in asking the question in the first place, thus making the question non - existent.

Sometimes the answers to each question are easily spotted, other times they are not, however is this not one of the reasons we are here on earth is to ask AND answer as many questions as possible regarding God, life, love, faith and everything in between!

Answer 8

The journey has begun. The answers you seek are already there. It is difficult to see because we have a hard time believing it is there. As we move forward we begin to see that it was the journey that was more important than the answers you sought.

Thank you for your wonderful question. I hope we will meet one day in this great journey you have begun.

Answer 9

I really cannot answer for that. I have myself have had so many questions in my life, for which I have as yet not found any answers. Like for eg. why did that friend of mine, never really respond to my mails, after we parted ways a few years back ? Does she really like me, or was it just a passing freak affair ? If at all she wasn't serious about it, why the hell, did she make me feel that she was in love with me, that she liked me, that she craved for me...... Many such questions, we would never find an answer for. A lot happens in life, and its simply unaffordable that you would find an answer for each and its futile and foolish to insist to seek an answer for all those ....
I've learned not to live with those questions, but to forget them and live without them. It would simply be impossible living with them, my dear friend. Learn to forget, forgive and let go.

Answer 10

Questions have many answers you just pick one and then learn. You cannot find an answer if you do not learn from it that’s why you keep on searching.

Answer 11

I read an interview with the Dalai Lama one time where someone asked him how he always appears happy and doesn't he worry about things.

His answer was that there are only two types of problem in life, the ones you can do something about and the ones you can do nothing about. For the ones you can do something about you do something, no problem. For the ones you can do nothing about, realise that you can do nothing about them and when you accept this, no problem.

I think this is a wonderful way of answering your question as well.
