Fear in itself is a very powerful emotion that can bury our conscious will very deep inside only to show itself later at a safer time. When one is accosted, one does not stop to think about the safety of the accoster. Does this make us less human? Is the imbedded ‘Fight or Flight’ a remnant of when we ourselves were once animals without conscious thought? Or is it a quality that we nurtured as our conscious thought evolved?

What is it about us that makes us tick? Are we in this world just to eat, breathe, and die? Are we merely existing on this plane in a holding pattern for something better? Do the answers to these questions make us human? Many have asked these questions before only to have succeeded in having more questions. I do not have the answers to them and I feel comforted in the fact that others with intellectual capacities much greater than mine have not been able to decipher them as well.

It is a funny thing that many of us do not have these questions looming in our fore thoughts day in and day out. One would think that knowing these answers would give us the inspiration needed to force ourselves into the office only to take orders from someone who in our opinion may not know what the heck is going on - or toiling at home - cleaning, washing dirty laundry and scraping up crusted up food remains from a mountain high pile of dirty dishes. We certainly do expend a lot of energy in surviving and for what?

I can’t imagine a world full of philosophers locking themselves in their own special little grotto at home not willing to come out until they found their inspiration for life. It is a good thing that that some things are left out of our conscious control. The human drive to eat and survive easily overpowers our thoughts. We know this, because if it weren’t true we would all be whittled down to skin and bones and lying in our special place at home waiting for the inevitable to happen.

Is it better to not even think about these questions and traverse this world like zombies expending just enough energy to survive? What drives us to forego these answers? When was the last time you found yourself not going to work merely because you pondered upon the question of your existence? Most know that if they don’t work, they don’t get paid. If they don’t get paid they can’t pay for their home. If they can’t pay for their home where are they supposed to ponder on these questions? Even those that don’t have a traditional home made out of wood or concrete still need to expend energy to find food.

Is perhaps love the fuel that drives us to survive without these answers? Would you stay at home doing nothing knowing that there is no food on the table for your four year old child that is incapable of finding food for himself? The mere thought of seeing my son or daughter suffering while I had the capacity to prevent their suffering is more than enough to get me to hide these questions in a place that is not normally accessed.

But is it healthy to forego answering these questions? It certainly is healthier for my son and daughter. Does that mean that having the ability to think puts us in a potentially dangerous situation?

As you can see, trying to answer these questions has only brought about more questions. In the end, ironically, I found that in failing to answer these questions, I achieved answering one of them for myself. When one dells into their humanness one finds qualities within oneself that are not exactly humanesque. This drives one to correct them, resulting in making one human.
