Hi Timonwa! This is contemplative.. I am currently reading a series about astronomers and I believe these were the same questions they had in their heads when they explored the heavens for answers. The more questions we ask, the more we search for answers, leading to more questions than answers. Do we stop searching because it's all a loop? No, I believe that-more questions than answers grants us perspective, and with perspective comes humility. Humility in the sense that, for all we know, we know nothing. But we gain pride in our inquisitive nature that we'd know even less if we we never searched.

It's like building muscles. There's no point where you can stop because you are now fit. When you do, you'd lose all your gains. What's the point of being in shape when you can't stop and retain your gains? That's the point... to never stop being in shape. I believe the same goes for curious minds. You search as a means to no end. Thank you for shaing your thoughts, I look forward to reading more from you.
