The questions...

With the overplayed escapisms fed to us all, we forget to ask critical questions. Thought-out this article I won’t be saying nothing but to ask questions I think we should all be asking to someone somewhere.

So, this is the right time to stop reading this blog post if you think questions won’t add any value to you.  But nonetheless, you read so far, these questions are questioning religion and beliefs, social issues, the accepted ideas what the perfect love life should look like and much more. Your right as the reader is to answer the questions based on your own understanding and experiences in your own time.     

Who is God? Do we need God? Can God really help the world? What is fate? Is believing in the idea of fate really attached to the idea of believing in God? Is God really responsible for our fate? Can we cheat fate? Do we choose our fate? If we do, how do we know the right and wrong fate? Is fate faithful to us? Talking about faith, is losing faith in your fate really means you no longer believe in fate?

If fate exists, how does it work with God? Does it make sense the fact that people who do not believe in the existence of the deity have faith in their fate? Why people who lack belief in God solely because they cannot see him, believe that they will live to see tomorrow because they cannot see tomorrow too. How and who measures the right and wrong beliefs? Is it really fair to say everyone believes in something or someone? Is it not senseless to hear non-believers in the deity to be talking about “Karma” a religious philosophy? With so many religions in the world, how do we prove the right one?  Or is the world created and ran by the number of gods equals to the number of religions we have today in the world?

Oh you still reading? Good let me continue to ask social questions. Why so much dispute between black and white people? Why not Indians and white people? Why not Chinese and black people? Why poverty and struggle is associated with black people? Do you really think white people don’t struggle? Is really this association of black people with poverty works for the benefit of the white man or it deprives poor white people opportunities to benefit from social grants?

Who is responsible for black people’s struggles? Is it really white people or black man who lacked the strength of thinking for the coming generations, which is us? Is slavery done with or we live in an illusion and it’s now a paid slavery? Are we really free? What is to be free? Why white people don’t resides in the ghettos? Why ghetto people work so hard so they can go reside where white people resides in? Why everything that is original African is perceived to be not good enough? Which generation should be disappointed to another generation, the current one or the previous generations? Is being an African not good enough?  Are black people racists too? Why people working for the government and not the government work for people? Is it not people’s rights to run the government? If it is, why the government runs people? Why people have no rights to amend or change the laws of any country for their benefits if we all live in the democratic world? Why the law enforces equalities to us all but the law itself is not equal? For example, a female rapist spends fewer years in jail compared to a male rapist, why?

Why we all try so hard to be romantic the way Hollywood expresses its romance? Why do we define love the way movies do? Are movies the source of our understanding with our love lives? Why people divorce so much these days? Is marrying really for those who can afford it? Do we teach young girls to be searchers of the man with a lot of money or a man with a lot to give besides money? In the given choices, which one is the right choice?

Let me stop here for now, but there a lot of questions I constantly ask myself. I cannot ask them all here but it’s the right thing to question our status quo from all the realms of life. Love must trend!!!.
