Ahhhh...you are so great! - - dose of thoughts

"Virginia Bautista"
I really think you are and i can't believe myself. there must be something with the way you express yourself that actually makes me listen. I can't tell.
But I do get your point -- That is being written with all honesty and sincerity. I understand that group now. actually i really do(even before). I was like them. "i began as a skeptic... then i became a believer"... hahahaha... being serious i was a President of Many religious organizations before. I was a member of the youth practitioners of the church in pampanga. i was so dedicated to what i was doing.
But it came to the point that i questioned some things which we do and struggled to find some answers. I left all of the organizations and bequeathed my positions. but no matter where i go all... the believers are scattered. So there's no one else to ask but them. this frustrated me because not even one person, who believes, was able to justify what they are doing.
then i realized that i am not the type of person who lives life with out their spines. I am not easily flowing with the wind. And people think that i am a hard headed person. I am not offended by that, because i really am. "hard heads are hard because there's something inside, empty heads are soft --- logically".
That's a big was. Something happened after i sent you the E-mail. I brushed the mail again and realized that i have so many questions. Then finally i reflected. (inspired by you) here are the things that everyone should hear:
I asked myself why do we ask questions? - - Many would say because we want to learn, for knowledge sake or to challenge ourselves but didn't you notice that even the answers are questionable and the answers would lead to another question? Now here's my assumption... Every time we ask question/s we as humans are celebrating and appreciating our imperfection. we can never give a perfect answer. Questions prove that we can never have everything to answer everything. we will always end up struggling and settling for (if pondered well) nothing. (i know even my answer is questionable) but that is exactly what i was talking about.
why do we answer questions? - - yeah why do we answer questions when in reality we always end up giving more questions? many would say that this is the test of knowledge. well perhaps they are right. but the truth is when we answer questions we celebrate life. We are thinking being and the moment we stop thinking we stop "living"
we continue to exist but we are mere warm bodies if we don't think. even believers think. if we don't answer the question nothing change in our lives not going up not going down. existing with out moving - therefore we are not really living.
and therefore i concluded that the believers are some what admirable. They are because they can think and settle somewhere in the line. why Critical people think and think and believe (only for a while). then they move again to question?
i've always been a fan of the YIN YANG and here's the connection of my avowal. The one won't exist with out the other. the believers won't have anything to believe with out the work of thinking and the critics won't question with out that the thing that people believed.
I am satisfied now. I am a believer of my own discovery and i want to thank you for i couldn't really get this far with out the fallacies... which are actually as old as life and as eternal as life.
you really did a good job. you really did. 3 THINGs I LEARNED for your class...
