why questions about lifeWhy does everyone question life?

I am not trying to "put down" anyone who does have these questions. I just want to know why they are constantly asked... I mean why question life when you can simply go out and enjoy it? I know they are trying to "find meaning in their lives", but instead of searching for meaning, simply enjoy what you have and the let the meaning come to you.

I suppose I could be stereotyping these people... I am asking a question about questioning life...

Please do not take offense at my question b/c that is all it is - a question...
Simple human nature.
Humans can never understand life until they stop taking it away from each other... We slaughter animals and waste them, we kill each other all the time, we kill harmless insects just because they're in the same room as us...
That is a good question. I am one of those constant philosophers who want to delve deeper into the meaning of life, time, space, you name it.

I can't really saywhy questions about life why I do that. But I do, and it fascinates me. That's not to say that I don't enjoy life. Maybe you are used to people questioning life who are also a bit on the depressed side? I question life with zeal and curiousity, much like a scientist on a mission to prove a hypothesis.

I think it's important for people to seek answers bigger than themselves. If we didn't have these types, things like "The World Is Flat" or, "The Planets Orbit Around Earth" or "Lightening Is God Striking Down With Anger" would still be widely accepted as truth, and life as we know it would be an even bigger mystery.

Good question, am excited to see other answers!
Because they are either introspective, cynical, or not ecstatic about life. A certain enthusiasm is required to blindly accept anything as is, including life. Without enthusiasm (source: bad event, humdrum life, life without any special events, melancholy, or reflective personalwhy questions about lifeity that limits excess of enthusiasm), one is more likely to engage in suspend judgment and think more in depth about some "given", that includes life.


IMHO, life ought not be just "lived". What kind of consequences?! It is best done with careful and weighty decision
it is human nature to ask questions...that is how one learns.
If one continually asks questions there is always room for change ...change can be a good thing. A dedicated spiritual walker is always asking questions.....answers come in good time.....some times a lone time..but a question seeker will always find answers.....survival instinct.
life is a constant ,question with no constant answers,,will go on as such.
you are not "putting down anything",you yourself have asked the question "why", is that not also a question.
lots of answers,and or opinions,,,,,,,
where are the solutions?
