20 Unanswered Questions For The World

We, as humans, ponder about the life around us whether it be the simplest questions. Why is the sky blue? What is the meaning of life? Sure, there may be answers out there but, in a sense, doesn't everything in life contradict itself to the point of confusing all of us?

Life isn't about finding the answers, it's about examining our atmosphere. Searching for the answer will cause unnecessary stress. Being open-minded and curious will leave life like a detailed, eye-catching, cliff-hanging novel that an individual would never desire to put down. Don't answer the questions below, put some thought into their overall meaning.

1. If opposites attract, then why is there still war?

2. How is there so much hate in this world when love exists?

3. Why do we keep it up if we ignore flames to ourselves?

4. Where is the light to guide us through the dark?

5. Why do we call thoughts deadly if they are what cures the world’s ills?

6. Do we really value life so much if we make death come to others?

7. How is there suffering if there's enjoyment?

8. Why is there school when we don't learn real world skills?

9. Why is there labeling if we each have tags attached to us?

10. What is the worth of a label if it's only a perception?

11. Why do we kill ourselves when there's ways to live?

12. Why is there leadership if there is corruption?

13. What is the value of money if it creates selfishness?

14. Why do we kill to live if it bites back in the end?

15. Why do we build if it kills our home, thus ourselves?

16. Why do we demean everything not human if it's what brought us life?

17. Why do we pray for freedom if society discontinued it?

18. Why pray for freedom when you follow the steps to life?

19. How can we breathe positive if there's so much negative pressure?

20. What is a world without Earth?

With these thoughts, there's a pattern of contradiction in most of them. Look at the immense visual, not the miniscule details that derail you from the overall interpretation. Life itself is a black and white, good and evil, angel and devil, experience. Once there is danger, there is hope; when there's truth, there's lies.

It's like an oscillating wavelength, once it hits a high, there's a low and at one point will reach a middle between the two always. Go through life knowing that your world could mold into a piece of gray dust at any point; experience that dust at your high to prepare for your fault, your decline because it will come to snap at you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
