The "Why" thread

I accept that I know less at my current age than I ever thought I would. That is because I thought I knew more about everything beforehand.

How were things made/created, what happens when we die, how infinite is outer space, is thereother life out there, all questions I frankly don't have the appetite to spend energy trying to get answers to. Why? What would the purpose be? If I were meant to know then the answers would be a little more adjacent to humanity.

Is there a 'creator'? I don't think so. I think it's all chemicals and atmospheres. How can I reconcile that with the beautiful colours of a butterfly or iradesence of a lizard, or humour of a duck-billed platypus? I can't. And that's OK. If there is a single creator, great. It makes no difference to me. I DO want to learn more about that butterfly, that bee, that creature with whom I share this place. I DO want to continue trying to positively connect with as many people as possible (whether locally or via positive collective conscience). I DO want to place my energy into things which can help today be better for me and everyone I come into contact with, rather than ruminate on matters which will be inconsequential so far as my conscious state can divine.

Accepting what I don't know, and investigating some of the very tangible local things around me is of great importance.
