so many questions

Why is it, in life, that there are so many questions no one has answers to? If man is as smart as he is said to be, isn't he supposed to have the answer to virtualy everything? Are there things that we know from the second of birth or even from inside the womb? For example, does an embryo recognize its mothers voice and react to her feelings? Are we aware of our own death? Does anyone have the proof that you're soul does in fact go somewhere once it has left your body? Who really knows if once you die, you are aware of it and who really knows if there is such a thing like heaven or hell? So why do people believe in God and in everything he stands for? I mean, if there isn't anything after death, are these people who believe in the after-life going to be aware that they have believed in something that does not trully exist? And I'm saying all this hypothetically because these are questions I ask myself often. I honestly admit in sometimes doubting in the existance of a God, of a Devil, of a heaven and for that matter of a hell. Yes, I doubt in all these things momentarilly just like I momentarilly doubt in my purpose, in all of our purposes, in this life and in this world. Why are some born healthy and some ill? Is it all just a matter of luck? Why are there so many sad events happening all around this world? Why doesn't the human race, as smart as it supposidly is, stop being dumb and have wars and kill eachother and make others so miserable in order to have more and more power? Because this is the only true reason for all the bad in the world: thurst for power. If so many people around the world believe in gods and saviors, why is there so much hate? Do we not know that nothing good ever comes from fighting? Have we not seen with all that has happened in the past that hatred and rejection will never solve anything? If we are so smart, why don't we put two and two together and start acting like civilized humans and make this world a better place? Everyone has a part to play in this. Whether it is the teenager that stops bullying another kid because he's different, or whether it is a powerful figure in one of the countries of this world that decides not to attack another country "because they deserved it". Every single one of us is responsible for every single action we do or don't take. From recycling to try and help to save our environment to volenteering in our community.

well, I think I'm done for tonight...but don't worry, I'll be back.
