We ask so many questions, and come up with answers or theories for them.
Why is it we need to ask so many questions, and why do we feel we need to know everything about everything?
Like why do I feel the need to ask this question?

To understand. It's why we have a brain. Well it's why most of us has a brain. From the moment you are born you learn and seek to know more and seek answers to your questions by feeling, experimenting, talking and listening. And if we didn't ask questions we wouldn't be here. No questions, no moving, no eating, no reproduction, complete nullity.

Maybe the human brain was made in such a way it allows us to wonder and think. We can understand simple concepts so we think we need to know everything.

In all honestly I was just going to come in here and type "well whyd u ask that question." but then i saw that u asked yourself that. I believe its about a fear of the unknown.

i think we ask so many questions beacause we need to know the answers before we die.

Aristotle once gave a lecture on how questions were what separates us from both the gods and the beasts. The gods know too much to ask questions and the beasts know too little to ask questions. At the end of the lecture, he asked if there were any questions, and when there were none at first he said, "Shall I congratulate you for having risen to the level of gods, or chastise you for having sunk to the level of beasts?"
We were made with a "God-shaped vacuum" (Pascal) that only he can fill. And He's truth, so we try to partially fill that hole with truth.

i just thought i'd point out the irony of QUESTIONING why we ask so may questions...
i think that by asking the question at all you answered it, yourself...
people have a natural drive to know things...
it's just the way we are...

I'll Answer With Questions
We ask, to know, right? Isn't asking and searching for that answer how all sciences came about? Can't we consider asking the start of all civilization? If it wasn't for our mind questioning and looking and wanting answers, wouldn't we still be in caves, waiting for evolution to kick in once more? Having the ability to ask, and not always accept, is like the fruit of having a brain...that's my opinion anyway.November 18, 2005

I agree
We ask questions because we think. We as humans are curious and that curiousity will want us to know more by asking questions and trying to answer them.Please register or login to comment! It's totally free
