There are times in my life that things happen that make me really question, question why?? Here are a few of my questions . . . some deep and thoughtful and some just plain silly!
(In no particular order)
Why . . .
do bad things happen to really good people?
Why . . .
do movie stars think when they support a political candidate, he/she has a much better chance of winning?
Why . . .
do people, who are voted by the people to take care of our city, state and/or country, lose sight of the people who put them there in the first place?
Why . . .
does the government think it’s okay for people to consume foods that are filled with pesticides, pesticides that are so dangerous, gloves and masks are needed when applying them?
Why . . .
is it, that for some children, the best part of his/her day is when they’re in school?
Why . . .
is it, even though you know everything has a reason, there’s times you can’t figure out what it is?
Why . . .
do some people always know the right things to say? (thank goodness)
How . . .
is it possible. . . that for some people, their child is not more important than life itself?
Why . . .
does food that is not good for us taste so darn good?
Why . . .
when a new season arrives, our clothes seem to have shrunk?
Why . . .
so many questions . . .
Why . . .
so many unanswered . . .
But never stop asking . . .
"How . . .
ReplyDeleteis it possible. . . that for some people, their child is not more important than life itself?" This was my favorite yet most wrenching question you asked. Such thoughtful questions! You are so wise, Lynn.
I like to write to figure things out and that often begins with a question. Your list here could serve as a springboard for many writing projects.

Lynn, I think your last two Why's are what makes life worth living. If we had the answers to everything, we wouldn't need to ask "Why". Thanks for your Why questions to ponder.
ReplyDeleteYour second 'why' made me laugh.... Great slice.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder what you have seen, read, heard that makes you ask some of these questions. Why is that?
