We are all human. We are all here exploring our own unique realities in this thing we call life. Coexisting together in this planet isn't always easy and sometimes we question what we are even doing here. I'm sure we have all asked "Why?"

Personally, I believe questioning everything is the best thing we can do to better understand the world around us. However, questioning always leads to more questions.

So for those of you out there with questions like myself when it comes to who we are, what we are, and where we are going...

Here are some quotes from great thinkers, philosophers, and religious leaders to help you figure things out for yourself.
