Why do people live their lives without asking the questions "why are we here?" and "how did we get here?"

The simple answer is they in their own mind are content not giving any thought to the fact it could be seen as better. Too bad they don't consider the fact there are lots of graves and no one has missed a permanent visit there. most just accept today and don't want to think of tomorrow eventhough it is very clear when tomorrow is seen it is today.

when you are asked to ask a question, there are so many questions you have you don't know which one to give.\n\nor you are afraid your question might be so irrelevant.\n\nor the question might be too personal.\n\nor the question may insinuate other things which you don't intend to.\n\nor the question may just lead to another question which will further lead to another, and another, until confusion sets in.\n\nor the question just have no answer.\n\nor the question is just not for you to ask.\n\nor you just have no question at all coz you understood everything and you don't need to know more.

You are basically asking what the meaning of life is.  I believe that we all have a purpose here.  The hard part is chosing the right path to follow in order to get where we are destined to be.

Why would you question answers? I dont get it.

Mmm, because if you weren't here you wouldn't be able to ask that question.\n\nLife is perfect. It is what it is. There is no rhyme or reason. Best to just accept it and get on with it, I say.

We are alive to carry on our species, no more and no less. It is the same with the whole of creation.\nWe as human beings though are thinking, sentient beings capable of questioning even our very existence, as you have done. Not only do we question, but we seek answers, answers that will be passed on for the benefit of the next generation. We learn from our mistakes, and the mistakes of others. Yes there are many reasons for our existence, very many reasons.

People ask in forums like this for 2 reasons \n1. Because they are unsure of there own beliefs and want someone else to clear up there doubts\n2. Because they don't want to be looked down upon for asking and then confirming there doubts when they know they should have no doubts to begin with

Yay, a question directed towards my beliefs! I don't have a concrete belief about why we are alive....but I think its because we want to be, and because we want to learn. Most humans seem to crave knowledge and what better way to gain it than by living? As to the after life I believe in a place called Summerland which is where spirits wait to be reincarnated.

I just asked this question in different words and got some great answers. I think people are afraid of what they don't know, and these people have lived sheltered lives so there is A LOT they don't know and aren't familiar with. I guess they think it's easier to try and rid the world of the things that scare them than to learn to live with them.

Why do you write questions no one wants to answer

The fact that your (and by 'your', I mean everyones) brain can formulate that question is just a hint at the wonders of nature.\n\nWe all seek purpose... especially in things we don't understand.  Keep asking that question!  Don't be satisfied with quick answers, and certainly don't be disappointed if there is no answer... it is, after all, only one question and even no answer can be as telling.

Some people are here to entertain themselves. Some people are in it for the points, I guess. (Why else would someone answer "I don't know"?) Maybe one of your questions will get picked as a featured question. Then you will get more thoughtful answers. In the meantime, share your own knowledge and help to enhance the intellectual level of this site!

It is probably different for each individual.  Some may just be ignorant, and you really can t blame them, for asking questions is the first step to enlightenment.  Some may just want attention and some might just be bored.

The only thing that we know for certain without debates on the beginning of time etc.  is that life wants to continue to exist.  Thats the purpose of life, to exist and continue existence.  Everthing else that goes along with this is luxury.

the reason to ask is age old .......curiosity.u can be anonymous here and ask questions that u otherwise CANT ask.secondly u meet people from different walks of life who can answer u on a variety of things.\nthe reason to answer is firstly to help someone with the knowledge one has and secondly to put forward ones opinion.\nlast but not the least........its a good game with the points too!!!!!!

Because they don't want to just HAND you answers.  They want to make you think for yourself first, and explore all the options, and if you still don't reach the answer, they tell it to you.\n\nLearn to think.

OK, here's the deal. I can easily and without a single doubt assure you that a hundred essays and books can be written on that topic. There are an infinite number of questions as to the concept of LIFE. everyone asks these questions, and everyone wants answers. This is completely human, and we can't avoid curiosity. But if you want an answer to this question, you are asking in the wrong place. YAHOO ANSWERS isn't the place to ask a question like that. Want to know where to ask about life? Yourself. You'll get loads of answers from yourself. Now which one is the truth? TRUTH. It's the most unattainable concept in the universe. And we might never know that thing called truth. But life, my friend, is much too mysterious to ask a simple question like why we take it so seriously. I'm not trying to answer that question. It's true we all die, and life is full of unexplainable mysteries. And do you think you get life less than every other human being? You don't. \n\nI'll leave you with this. Begin to answer your question with God. If we all die, your real question should be WHY ARE WE BORN? Why live when we die? Now that is the real question. \n\nGood luck finding truth.\n:)\nYou'll need it.
