Question: How's this for philosophy!?
When a man knows for a fact that something is there, but cannot find it, does he keep searching for what he believes is there or does he give up the search because he cannot find it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wait!.!.!.Are you saying you know where my car keys are!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

well this question is basically a summation of my life!.!.!.or at least the spiritual, esoteric aspect of it!. i have spent 24 years searching for "something" that i believe is there!. i don't know if it is inside of me or out there in the universe, what "it" is, how or where to find it!. all i know is that it exists and if i give up the quest then i will cease to exist!. not so much in the physical sense, but my soul will shrivel up and die, i would basically be like a car with no driver!. it is entirely possible that that "something" is nothing at all, merely the soul trying to evolve and acquire information through experience to carry on past this life and be absorbed by the universal spiritual collective conscious!. my outlook on this will probably change some as i evolve, but this is the conclusion at which i have arrived thus far!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, if you are looking for something and it's apparently "always in the last place you look" wouldn't you keep looking until you found it!? I would!.

Here's what Jesus said:
"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them!. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it!? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home!. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep!.' I tell you that in the same way there will more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent!." (Luke 15:4-7)

i think it makes perfet sense!. it sets a good example on many lives and the way to live it!. if i were answering thar question i would say, no do not give up, since u know it is there then dont give and still have hope!. believe in yourself , if u give up then u are weak and lame and careless!. many people tried making or getting something out of their lives, they try to look for a way or source to live it and base their lives on it!. so they search, but there is something for every person!. i am only 13, but my dad is in a harsh personal situation now!. we have been waiting for some kind of miracle to come to us and open a door for 2 and a half years!. in that time we suffered and went throught lots of stuff!. a couple days ago, its like an angle suddenly came to us and answered our commands!. our dream came true!. so for everyone who is looking for something, it will come to you, dont give up :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

How do you know something is there for a fact if you can't find it!? The only way you would now it is there is if you found it in the past!. But then what's stopping you from finding it again!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a structured question!. He will continue looking because he KNOWS for a FACT that it is there!. (NOT believes it is there)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

he should keep on searching because if he does not, then, he does not know that something is there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If he gives up then he doesn't really know it is there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
