I'm happy that it is helpful. I have sought my entire life "why" everything. I think I was born needing to know why. I don't understand why other people do not share this same drive. Also, the not caring baffles me. I can understand feeling impotent to change circumstances, but I do not understand saying "oh well. I'm gonna die eventually anyway." The desire to make things as good as they can be and constantly searching for the answer motivates me. My husband is one of the many people I know who feels like there is no reason to question anything. He is military and says "the why doesn't matter. There is no why." Whereas I think, if you don't understand the why you can never progress ahead of where you are. I firmly believe my constant questioning is also the reason why I haven't been able to find a faith. It's really a mixed blessing. I feel so fortunate to be aware and know so many things, but at the same time wish that I could be just like everyone else who can accept things the way they are. What are the odds that I will ever be in a position to make an impact upon the world with what I know? I impart my thoughts to my children and perhaps someday they can make an impact. As for me, no matter who I speak to, no one seems to be motivated to even learn more so much as just say, huh that's interesting, and move on to never question anything further.
