When was the last time you wondered why something was the way it was?

Well, I have those "big questions" in the back of my head, the ones that have been there for a while....

Two seconds ago, though, I looked out my window and I saw a tree. I wondered why it grows the way it does...why each branch is where it is...why each branch is how big it is...what makes the branches to grow randomly where they do (and if it is random).

Needless to say, I still don't know, lol.

I asked a question on Yahoo three times about Madonna asking if anyone else thought that the photo of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter looked like her and posted a link. I wondered why it never got posted each time so then the last time I added the link last and it got posted. Now all the questions on that subject have been removed and I got a violation notices. That is about it, not that I really care so much but there are plenty of other people who post links to photos on there questions and the question gets posted, so what was the beef with mine? I have come to no concrete conclusion, just pondering Yahoo's inconsistencies and moving on. Thanks for asking.

I ran a stop sign two days ago , I almost hit a guy that I almost hit a few months earlier at the same stop sign . I wondered if perhaps it was a sign that eather I was going to get cought by the cops running some sign somewhere in the future , or if mabey it was Him that was in line to be hit or mabey even myself finding myself in an acident . so I guess I'll slow down at that sign for a while . then after I don't get cought and I don't wind up in some accident later on , I will probably go back to being a little careless , so far it's been working ok for me

Yesterday, I wondered about God and death. The greatest people I know have died young, and I always used this as proof to myself that there is no God, but I started to wonder if maybe there is a God, and if life is just a trial to sort out heaven and hell bound. My friends, who have died, were so obviously heaven-bound, died young, since God had made the decision early, as it was so obvious.

I didn't get a conclusion though, because I don't know between the two answers.

Whenever I happen to listen to Rush Limbaugh. I wonder how someone can avoid having his bluff called for so long. Is he a corrupt, dishonest person feeding off of other corrupt people? He certainly is not a truthful person as he uses slander all the time to attack others.

The conclusion I draw is that there are a lot of gullible, ignorant people listening to him who don't have a clue how he manipulates them.

Religion, because it condones criminal behavior ad infinitum, in as much as an absence of religion would have no bearing on human behavior, (criminals do not fear retribution from without as much as they might fear retribution from within prison walls) Religious "optimists" typically assume that an absence of religion (atheism) leads directly to bad behavior.

Given the either/or construct of religious absolutism, there's a reason why religionists assume this, because they can't determine human behavior and they assume (prevaricate) that behavioral science can't determine this either because they deny most un-manipulated science fields because real science requires a testable object to test a theory upon, not an idea to test an idea upon.

I could go on in several directions, (forming layered hypothesis's) but I won't waste your finite human lifespan any further, because I care.

Today.

I was wondering why some people do everything they can to lose the esteem one nurtures for them.

The conclusion was that they were lead by fear. Fear is the trigger in everything they do, when they destroy the love they receive, when they destroy the trust they receive, and when they destroy the esteem they receive.

Fear. That was my conclusion.

long ago, when I developed an enquiring mind.
