Questions

Does a name define a person, or does a person define a name?

Do we really know as much as we think we know, or do we only know what we think?

Do we see what we want, or do we only want what we see?

Are we what we seem to be, or do we seem to be what we are?

Is hope really imagination, or is imagination really hope?

What is better to have: love of knowledge or knowledge of love?

Do we really know ourselves as well as we assume, or do we assume to know ourselves as well as we know everybody else?

Do we want what we need, or do we need what we want?

Are there ever any answers to questions such as these? Or do we remain ignorant until death and perhaps even beyond? Will we ever know the answer at all?

    Seriously, I think the beauty of life is that there are so many unanswerable questions...no matter how frustrating it may seem. Yet the search for answers is often more rewarding than the answers themselves. If they even exist, that is.
