Why?

Brysing it appears that your father was absolutely right. =)

Children aged 4yrs or so constantly ask 'why?'. This is because it makes someone talk to them, providing attention and reassurance, as well as providing lengthy stimulating information xD

How true,zebrah! I have seven children (all now adults) and as they were growing-up I learnt something I hadn't realised when I was a child myself. When a child asks a question he/she already knows the answer. They only want confirmation that they are right! (Or wrong!)

it is indeed an interesting question. why are we here? why do we exist? what is the meaning of life? what is our purpose for being? all these questions and no answers

Those kind of questions have no answer because you're asking them out loud and seeking answers from those who can't give it.

Why are we here, why can we do this, why can't we do that, ect...these are meant to be asked and pondered within yourself. Since each life is different, each purpose is different and each view of existence is different, no one can answer it but yourself.

true, a question i ask you and others is "what is your meaning of life?" my meaning is to protect those close to you and just live your life

Lol it's quite annoying especially if you don't get a straight answer like why was the world born and they say because or or or just say that's the way it is I want a straight froward answer foes anybody feel that way too?

Why? BECAUSE.

Who created the Universe, and who created the thing that created the Universe, and who created the thing that created the thing that created the Universe.

Who created the question that eventually came to this thread?
