The Search For Meaning Poem by John Knight
The Search For Meaning
One of most asked Questions is:
What does it mean - what does it say?
To many questions - even simple ones
There is often more than one answer
There is often no direct answer
Even for very important questions!
There are often too many questions
There are often too few answers.
The eternal question - WHO IS GOD?
Is answered in 100 different ways!
It depends on your Religion
And your Branch of that Religion.
Islam has 99 names for Allah
The Jews have many for Jehovah
Christians have the Holy Trinity
Each member of which has many names.
Each separate name for their own GOD
Is an attempt to answer the question!
The British Atheist Society
Came up with a confusing answer
'THERE IS PROBABLY NO GOD'
To make matters even more confusing
They put it up - in big letters
On th sides of London Buses.
God must have been very relieved
At least He was still a PROBABILITY
Which is more than can ever be said
For a system of MORALLITY
For a viable system of ETHICS
In the absence of a GOD centered Religion!
Other questions flow from considering
Morallity and Ethics - 'What is Truth? '
'What is Love? ' 'What is Justice'.
President Obama is looking for an answer
To many of these hard questions
Is Middle-America prepared for the hard answers?
Questions in Science are equally hard.
What is SOLID - what is a LIQUID?
What is a GAS - what is a VAPOUR?
What is PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
Why is it the most important
Biochemical reaction on Planet Earth?
Why are there so many types of HUMAN?
Why did God create so many SPIDERS?
Why are there so many languages?
Why are Men and Woman so different?
Why does the Earth have such a big Moon?
Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe?
By the intelligent application of Science
We can gradually answer most questions
About the functions of the Physical Universe.
We are fortunate to live in the 21st Century
When we have - so much knowledge
So much insight - so much understanding.
However the answers to the big question
What is the Meaning and Purpose of Life?
Still eludes us - remains unanswered.
Perhaps there is no simple answer
Perhaps there it is not a legitimate Question
Perhaps life is meant to be lived MORE and questioned LESS!
Dedicated to all those still searching for the TRUTH.
(John Knight - Colchester - September 2009)
GOD `ALLAH for Muslims` is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, Muslims can`t discuss the probability of HIS Existence. All the other matters are Relative there is no Rule WITHOUT Exception but ALLAH is (Al-Hak) THE TRUE, (Al-Ouahad Al-Ahad) THE ONE UNEQUALLED, (Al-Aoual) THE FIRST, (Al-Akher) THE LAST... For the Searchers and Hunters of the Truth, QURAN -THE GOLDEN WORDS OF GOD- can be a RICH ENCYCLOPEDIA which reveals many TRUTHS even the Scientific Truths. Wondering and Thinking are the easiest WAYS to obtain TRUTH that`s what say your Question Marks. Very Very Very Interesting P~O~E~M.

All searchers are full of questions John and ever will be - - you have listed many interesting aspects not only of questions but the varied answers that may be near the truth - - however we have to admit that life itself teaches us much and to lend an ear to the secrets of the natural world will automatically give rise to more questions - -and so it should be..... much food for thought and discussion in this piece John - - thank you for sharing with us....... warm wishes from Fay.

An Interesting poem! The search for truth starts with the Why quest, everything has a reason in this universe, there is nothing accidental and the meaning of life and our existence on earth is nothing but a TEST, GOD created us to worship him and to resist the temptations of Satan who challenged GOD to misdirect the believers and and shake their belief in THE EXISTENCE OF GOD and in the Judgement Day. This life is therefore a fight between GOD's followers and SATAN's followers, between good and evil...
