[Delano]

We are constantly looking for answers to questions .Will I get the job, the home, the partner et cetera. Now i am thinking more of what is the right question.

The *right* questions should be asked of self...1) what is the purpose of one's life and 2) what is one doing to fulfill it and 3) how can one make life better for others.

 

IMO, if one is working on their purpose and enriching the lives of others, everything else will fall into place in terms of rewards and answers. 

 

Granted, with billions of people on the planet, not everyone has a purpose. But, everyone can do their best to treat others with kindness and respect. Golden rule.

 

The overarching question becomes is one doing more for self and asking less of others.

The "right questions" are the questions that will lead you to the answers/solutions to any problems or difficulties you're facing.

@Delano There's no such thing as the right question, Babe. Just go with your curiosity.

I've never gotten an answer to what my purpose is in life.

I believe everyone has a talent thats is uniquely theirs. However it is probably not obvious amd most likely takes time to discover. Which is part of my attraction to the Esoteric.

Finding the answers to a pressing concern is not The reason for the question. There are industries that will help you to find solutions to tactical problems. Like deciding what type of partner, job or home you want in your life. I am thinking more of why do you want those things

I think it is more important to ask the right question. Which you have than, work out the answers to  mundane questions . Foe me this is the difference meaning and purpose.

@DelanoWell, whatever works for you.  

Sometimes the answer is in the question...

@umbrarchistCan we assume that your purpose in life is to ponder why the twin towers collapsed on 9/11/01?

Something you seem obsessively concerned about.

You're response made me rethink my post. I have been interested in the Esoteric, Numbers, and Mythology. Since I was a preteen. I like to find answers. So in addition to knowing things I like to find answers to particular questions.

 

So the specific answers I seek reflect general questions. So my interest triangulate to answer the following questions. Is there or what is the theme of life or living. Is there a purpose or structure to culture. How do different cultures or people explain reality or occurrences. What is life and what after life.

No!

 

The actual issue is why "Experts" did not raise the Obvious Question of the distribution of steel down the towers.

 

I presume that the problem cannot be properly analyzed without that information. You cannot even find accurate data on the Weight of the Concrete. There were 425,000 cubic yards but there were 2 densities. So without knowing how much of each the weight cannot be computed.

 

But we constantly hear people talking about "Critical Thinking".

 

Actually I consider the economics of Planned Obsolescence in automobiles more important than the Twin Towers.
