Question:Life is strange because as human beings we have the seemingly unique ability to ponder our own existence. Existence in itself seems very strange when one actually looks at it because it is! Most of the universe seems to be chemicals and rock and plasma and here we are on Earth, humans, able to look at it and examine it and wonder if it means anything at all.

ther is nothing square in this world,but the cats that are in it

Life is strange because nothing is planned and everything is random. That's why life isn't boring and dull.

NOBODY KNOWS!!!! Sure makes it interesting, though, does it not?

Life is strange because we aren't made to understand it.

If you really want an explanation, then here is one that will fit in with most of your questions:

Life is not random, it's a process of evolution of the mind, body and spirit. Nothing happens randomly, everything has a meaning, even pain and sadness have a reason for existing. Everything that happens to you in your life are a lesson, if you can open your eyes and mind to it, then you will see that life is not that strange.

Well, it could be perfect, but wouldn't that be boring? Every day perfect... every day the same too... it's a compromise... for the strangeness and variety, we get the chance to try things... we lose one thing for one thing we chose to want more.

Strange? Paradoxical, maybe. Maybe even absurd, but I do not think it is strange. Strange is a weak word that means many things that you probably didn't intend it to mean. Going off one meaning of strange, to be absurd, I would say that it is because of time. Time makes us be born and it makes us die. What use is that? I don't really have that answer.

I am afraid life is what it is and there is nothing we can do about it. You can't make the world make sense.
You just have to deal with it as it is, as best you can. It is chaos and doesn't make sense to us and never will.
