Question:Philosophy is supposed to be a way more about asking questions that it is to find answers. However, what if, just by chance, we did find an answer somewhere?
But where there are questions there bound to be answers, may be not within our grasp but certainly within our reach, as we have concept of heavens, or for secular thinkers the notion of a utopian world

Have you ever found yourself in this situation, what did it feel? And how did your life change in light of your newly found insightfulness?

If someone did find the answer...the truth is it wouldn't matter, because people are finding answers all the time, the thing is not everybody agrees with it, so it is treated as false. If for some reason your question is answered, then you have to be aware that the answer you chose to accept is because of your own personal choice, it's not that it is right but that YOU see it right, nobody else would care if they didn't agree with it.

yes, I have the answer.

And almost NOBODY wants to accept it and leave the matrix.

everyone else would be wrong

Yes, I have had some profound moments in my life. Unfortunately, I get to enjoy them alone... that's where my great blogs on myspace come from... ( sorry that's private profile)...
Finding an answer to something can be thrilling!

The whole truth and correct answer is not possible on earth, as here in space and time we cannot see the backgrounds. In the subtle-nonmaterial-spiritual areas we can find answers, however, usually first after death, and by those ones only who do not suffer from a karma.

I learned that this life is a temporary reality only. What happens after death is true reality.

Yes. I believe we have all had moments of clarity in our lives. Moments when all the questions seem to have answers. We are amazed at first and start working toward our goals. Only to get caught up in the everyday Familiar, again. And our clarity fades away.
I'm currently holding my feather, again. And have every hope that this time I will escape Familiar to live my dream.
It's all about our comfort zones and being able to leave Familiar.
The Answers can be found in the journey...

"To be or not to be; that's the question." How about the answer? That's not important. So, if someone did find an answer, the questions would go on being asked. Answers are usually discarded as subversive to Philosophy.

My Imagination, I use it to answer such questions...
With imagination, knowledge is born..

Satisfaction and fulfillment. If i got a satisfied answer i feel fulfilled. It brings me joy and happiness. It gives me always the pleasure of understanding and the wisom. For after all, this is the very purpose of philosophy.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
