“Why do we Exist?”


We work hard all our lives to earn some pieces of paper,

That can't predict the earthquakes, nor can they cure cancer.

We cut each other's throats to earn a loaf of bread,

Not realizing that sooner or later, we would all be dead.

We take pride to flaunt expensive clothing of a luxury brand,

While bodies of hungry people lie cold on a barren land.

Every minute somewhere in the world a child becomes an orphan, a mother is widowed, a girl is raped, blood of an innocent is spilled, people die of diseases, immigrants face discrimination, hard-working laborers crushed under oppression.

And what do the children learn at school? Only to repeat whatever they are told?

And what the governments do other than to play dirty tricks that never get old?

They say "Ignorance is bliss". Well, the truth is that ignorance is a bliss only for fools.

Why can't we just think? Why don't we ask the questions like “Why do we exist?”

Eat, drink, make merry and sleep?

Is this the purpose for our existence?


Is this the reason why Our Universe was born out of Nothingness?

Is this the reason why Light began its struggle against Darkness?


Is this the reason why Space was unfolded?

Is this the reason why Time itself was created?


Is this the reason why Energy condensed into matter?

Is this the reason why Electrons and Protons gathered together?


Is this the reason why Atomic nuclei fused?

Is this the reason why Stars were so amused?


Is this the reason why Vibrations through cosmos became so louder?

Is this the reason why Chaos turned into Order?


Is this the reason why Gravity became a force so strong?

Is this the reason why Our Planet Earth was born?


Is this the reason why Chemistry casted it spell?

Is this the reason why Gases mixed so well?


Is this the reason why Organic molecules were synthesized?

Is this the reason why Life was baptized?


Is this the reason why DNA was replicated?

Is this the reason why Genetic code was translated?


Is this the reason why Glucose started breaking?

Is this the reason why Molecular motors started running?


Is this the reason why Rains turned down the heat?

Is this the reason why Hearts began to beat?


Is this the reason why Nerve cells were electrified?

Is this the reason why Information was amplified?


Is this the reason why Fish fell in love with water?

Is this the reason why Frogs came out to look for something better?


Is this the reason why Grass, from the soil began to grow?

Is this the reason why Leopard ran so fast but Turtle was so slow?


Is this the reason why Birds learnt to fly?

Is this the reason why Coral reefs began to calcify?


Is this the reason why Scent of a flower attracted so many bees?

Is this the reason why Monkeys so skillfully climbed the trees?


Is this the reason why Apes began to speak?

Is this the reason why Fire killed the cold and brought some heat?


Is this the reason why First wheel was invented?

Is this the reason why Metals in the furnace were melted?


Is this the reason why the Earth was blessed with civilization?

Believe me guys, this is some serious stuff worthy of contemplation!


Our planet is just a tiny spec floating in the vastness of Infinity!

And the way we lead our lives is but an insult to the Divine Majesty!


Not only should we try to seek the Right Answers,

But we should also learn to ask the Right Questions!
