Because most ppl's fundamental questions have changed to "what's in it for me!?" and "when do I get it!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Too busy,
too many concerns,
too distracted,
relativistic wishfull thinking
and some with a narcissistic view actually don't care are probably the biggest reasons!. It is only in the quiet moments of life or the tragedies of life that these questions are opened usually!.

I personally think that the most fundamental is "Does God exist!?" and God's question to us "what have you done with my son!?"!.

I think the "Average" person you speak of has no good answers so merely falls back on the superstitious silliness of Religious answers which are no answers at all beyond!.!.!.!.!.some Sky Magician named God did it all!.

If they are Above Average then they are either embarrassed to say that they do not know, which is a legitimate answer, or are afraid to declare that Religious answers do not satisfy either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that some people do talk about these questions!. I have had conversations about life's purpose with people from work, or social situations!. However, I think that more frequently I discuss them with myself in my journals!. With the variety of religious ideas it can be a bit of a mine field so unless you know someone well you might not be comfortable discussing such a big concept with other people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My fundamental question is!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. How can I love/adore Allah/God more so that I will please Him and not only me!.

also, how can I best thank Him for His unconditional love, compassion, companionship, wisdom, sustenance, protection etc!.!.!.

The past is dead!.
The future never comes!.
All we really have is the present!.!.!.!.!.!.
And my only fundamental question is !.!.!.!.
How can I love and serve Allah/God as He deserves/wishes NOW+

Excellent question!. Thank you+Www@QuestionHome@Com

You mean to say we should not further discuss!.

I am now in a pitch dark forest!. I do not have any vision!. I do not know the direction!. I do not have any support!. I may even fall in a pit!. The path is rugged and full of thorn!. Lot of cruel animals create more fear!. Can you bring small torch and give light to see the right path!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the fundamental questions of life are

Who am I
Where do I come from
Where am I going/what am I going to do with my life
&
What should happen to me when I dieWww@QuestionHome@Com
