Will we ever find our answers?

Unanswered Questions

Every day, we ask questions, and we get answers. But what about the ones that are impossible to answer? The ones we don't normally think about every day, but once they're brought about, there is no ending point—no definite or known answer. With these kinds of questions, we somehow just have to deal with the fact that there is no real answer to them.

1. Do fish sleep?

2. Why do people say heads up when you should duck?

3. How did one even come up with numbers, days, months, the alphabet...?

4. Who or what really created the universe?

5. Are there other universes out there?

6. If water spins clockwise when it drains in the northern hemisphere, and water spins counterclockwise when it drains in the southern hemisphere...which way does it spin at the equator?

7. Why is the abbreviation for pound "lb." when neither l or b is in the word pound?

8. Why is it we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, but have to get it off our chests?

9. If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?

10. Do we control our own fate, or is it predestined for us?

11. Does everything really happen for a reason?

12. Is God real?

13. What ever happened to an E grade?

We have A, B, C, D, and F, but no E.

14. Why are they called goosebumps? What do geese get?

15. Who was the person that decided to just start drinking from a cow?

16. Which came first—the chicken or the egg?

17. How does one create color? How do the color pigments form?

18. If you try to fail and succeed, what did you just do?

19. If all cars arrive at the same exact time at a four-way stop sign, who goes first?

20. Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?

21. If you're in hell, and are mad at someone, where do you tell them to go?

22. If a chronic liar tells you he is a chronic liar, do you believe him?

23. Why is a #2 pencil the most popular pencil to use?

24. How do we hear our thoughts?

25. If you're doing nothing, aren't you still doing something?

Now, some of these are definitely debatable and based on beliefs, but for the most part, are there really certain answers for any of these questions? Maybe we'll never know...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
