Answers? Answers?

"Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it."

People struggle with things society will never understand. 'Well if it's bad or if it frustrates you, why don't you just move on?' They say, but they all know why, you can't just move on; something is there that you want to hold onto, otherwise it wouldn't have been an issue. Things happen, people change or do they? Do they really change or are they finally revealing who they truly are? That's a question that can be pondered night and day but you'll never find an acceptable answer.

Of all the answers in the universe, there are some questions that simply can't be answered in a fashion that would be pleasing. Not that we don't have answers, they just don't accurately answer the question. What is the meaning of life? 42. To think about questions like this. It's a philosophical question concerning life and existence in general. Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or else because they lack such functions and are classified as inanimate. Regardless how many answers we spew trying to make the questions easier to swallow, the questions are still present. They drive people, the kind of people who grab onto the unknown.

Why is it that silver linings exist? Well, of all the questions, this is the simplest to digest. There's a positive, a upside to every bad occurrence. Silver linings provide hope and peace to those who's life's seem to shatter with every movement. As far as why they exist, that's a more complex question, do silver linings have a purpose besides hope?

Questions don't always need answers, acknowledgment or reason behind them. Questions are the most basic way of admitting you need help with understanding. Answers don't provide relief and shelter from the question, they just provide the ability for further understanding, answers lead to more questions. So I guess, the real question here is why do we think answers will solve the problems?
