Trick Question


Guest Elizabeth K

Recommended Posts

Guest 1charlotte1

I have heard a story of a college professor giving his students a final essay where the question was why? One kid responded why not? And got an A. The answer to why for the majority of the peeps in this world is god or religion. Otherwise there would be no good reason to be alive. If there is no after life, then I assume that all of us will fade into nothing. All our hopes dreams friends familly houses cars dogs cats loves hates EVERYTHING! Will be gone in a matter of relatively short amount of time. If there is no religion or belief in ones life, the answer to why would USUALLY ( this is a key word for all the people without religion on this site) fear. Why else would someone resist death so ferociously to stay in this place where the majority will likely hate you for who u are. I believe that I will be reborn, therefore this gives me a reason to live well. If this were not the case, and all we do is fade into nothing then I would prefer to have never been born. Simply I would have never existed so I would have never suffered.

If I have offended anyone here then I am very sorry! This is just my answer to a question that has plagued every person on this earth at least once.

Hugz and luv, Charlotte

Why?

My usual response to any question is, "I'm sorry."

It usually works.

Why?

By Sally Michelle Jackson

The philosophers ask why

While looking at the sky

The scientists ask how

And want to know it now

The historians ask when

And keep that chapter open

The anthropologists ask who

And find old bones and call her Sue

But when all is said and done there comes a single clause

The answer to all above, simply stated is always just because.

Love ya,

Sally

Charlotte, that's a great story. Reminds me of this professor I had for a logic class a few semesters back.

Sally, great poem, as always.

I think I'm gonna wait and see where this thread is going before I decide whether post on the question. (This whole post is kind of meta, like Lizzy's thread about the thread on depression) (I'll stop now) ;)

WHY?

--Because there are so many delicious things we have yet to eat or sniff out down here!!

--Because they will ALWAYS make a new Gundam within 5 years time

--Because the interwebs beckons

--Because platypus are a weird and wonderful animal

--Because who else would clean the litter box?

--Because there are people out there who would do a lot for a Klondike Bar!

Actually, I think I was the kid who had that exam :blink: I definately had one in which the final exam was "why?" And yes, I got an A.

Kia Ora Lizzy,

:rolleyes:W=twenty third letter of the alphabet H=eighth letter of the alphabet Y=twenty fifth letter of the alphabet...in total =WHY ;)

Or [i know you didn't want a possible philosophical answer but I just couldn't resist it ;) ] ...A one word Christian answer 'GOD' or from a Buddhist 'KARMA'... both are answers to your question WHY...

Answer (all of you had a wonderful reponse) - the actual answer to a one word question, is a one word "response"

BECAUSE

That's all

In a way, it is true. Most Christians that I have met believe in an absolute truth and therefore, the answer to all their why's are able t be answered with because's :rolleyes:

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.
