Plays of fate - number 8

Has it ever occurred to you why you are reading this? Possibly a mysterious looking and a more generic force may be behind this. What - fate? No I was just talking about the connection between us! :P You don't have to always look into my posts searching for philosophically hidden meanings. There may be more to it than that.

Now that I've got you just where I wanted you to be (read: confused), I will bring forth the topic. This is because what I'll be discussing now doesn't have confirming answers. Actually, there are no answers at all! So let your subconscious mind take over and try not scratching your head.

Has it ever occurred to you why you are reading this? Possibly a mysterious looking and a more generic force may be behind this. What - déjà vu? Lol.. this might have been a deliberate one, but you know what I'm hinting at. I've been having these occasionally.. you might have too but probably involved in something else to let it go unnoticed. Thats what i meant by having a subconscious mind to this. Otherwise, there'll be more questions, no answers, and an even more confused mind! (add to that the infinite number of theories for it)

This was just an example. Having just finished reading Angels and Demons, I can figure out what the author was trying to say - to connect God and science in his attempt to provide answers. But what I ask is - do we "really" need the answers? I mean, whats the fun in life - finding answers or experiencing something that you have no answer for? Not that I'm an opposer of science (I'm an engineering student myself! And I know how important it is to get answers - especially in exams :P ), but I believe curiosity is a more desirable virtue.

I would rather be amazed at a phenomenon like déjà vu than have a psychologist explain how my brain chemicals make a fool of me. I would rather be watching the stars on a clear night, wondering what might be in there than discover that we are alone in the universe, or scary still - we are not alone. I would rather be saying a prayer before going to bed than know that I could only be speaking to myself while doing that.

I'll leave it to you to think about it now with a conscious mind!

"what I ask is - do we "really" need the answers? I mean, whats the fun in life - finding answers or experiencing something that you have no answer for? "

The curiosity to find the link between science and god, so that we find a magical power which probably takes us at the "speed of light"!!!! Who knows that can happen! and wont that be fun ...!
