After all, that's why one of the most common " spiritual " question is: " Why am I here? " i.e. I am here yet, I don't know " why " am I here. The answer [existence] looking for the question [purpose behind existence]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for that, who cares about purpose being such a destructive device? L.E: Just because a question word form is expressed that doesn't mean there is an answer. There are nonsense questions, irrational questions, purposeless questions, stupid questions, and unanswerable questions. Are you asking a question that even has an answer? And if an answer is given are you able to understand it? Another question. To me, the question, " Is life a question never to be answered makes no sense, and is just a verbal constuction posing as an answerable question. " Life " cannot ask a question. It is not someting that can inqure anything of anybody. So maybe someone is just dangling it as bait for the unaware to jump at: a purposely asked fake question.

Probably not, but those alive might ask if life is a question and that would be life asking itself. Another question is does a question have a purpose other than the one of interpretation? Probably not. The nasty habit of giving everthing a purpose is one we should get rid of I think. Sometimes a question might not be fully understood though, just as life isn't.
