Who are we? Who am I?

Is a question we have all asked ourselves.

These type of questions can be asked at very different points in your life.

If you are going through a hard time you are probably thinking ‘’what am I doing here? What am I supposed to do? What is life?’’ Well don’t worry because you are not alone. If you are just wondering, swimming in your own thoughts, ‘’Why did we create this life? Why and how did we invent technology? Words? Where did they come from? How did life start? Who invented this and that?’’ Why’s and more why’s, I guess that’s why kids just start asking why to everything, then they grow up and stop. However, we still have why questions they are just different, more developed and we don’t really express them.

Some of these interrogations you might not have because you have beliefs and you already have a clear mind of where we come from, but some of us are completely lost and have no idea, just like me. Did we come from the monkeys? should I believe in religion or science? No one knows the real answer.

We are people that live by habits, we wake up every single morning, brush our teeth, eat, go to work, sleep every night. We earn the money and spend the money. We are always wishing about something we don’t have, then when we get it, we get tired of it and move on to the next thing. Most of us have internet and use it every day, but we don’t realise how much it’s a need for us until the power goes out. The same with water, light, phones. We have created this community, a way of living life, we know how it works, but we still have that same question in our head, ‘’where does it come from?!’’ ‘’Who invented the hello word? Who invented pizza? Because he is a genius!’’

Have you heard the quote ‘’The two most important days in your life, are the day you were born and the day you find out why’’ (by Mark Twain) because I think it’s great and absolutely true. When you find the reason why, it might be because you want to make a change in the world or other amazing stuff, there are endless possibilities. Each of us has to discover our true selves, however we are still not capable to answer the questions of how the world was made, but maybe someday we will. Right now new planets are being discovered, new ways of creating things, new ways of developing what already exist, but for now just focus on your own path and you’ll get the answer to your doubts.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

What thing would you like to know it’s origins?

Remember, BE YOU.
