The Philosophical Questions

In this quarter age, I could finally say it’s important to figure out (the keyword) the answers to philosophic questions. A very fundamental of becoming a human. The sole reason for our existence and what’s coming next after. For some questions, we may not find the answers in short time, indeed. It may take a whole span of life, probably. Here’s the list of 25 philosophical questions I ask to myself ever since my childhood (I guess I was just into philosophy since a very young age). The 25 itself represent my age. I did this because I always think that to deal with other humans, I need to understand myself first, I need to have a deep conversation about my value and purpose. I reckon so.

  1. Why do I exist?
  2. What is my role in this world?
  3. What is my essential faith and spirituality?
  4. What God do I believe?
  5. What is my dream?
  6. What is my value?
  7. How do I value myself?
  8. What is my life purpose?
  9. How important is having a friend or a soulmate?
  10. How do I value my friend or soulmate?
  11. How do I value my family?
  12. What exactly are my responsibilities in the family?
  13. What are my strengths?
  14. What are my weaknesses?
  15. Am I living my best life?
  16. Am I in liberty?
  17. What really sparks me joy when I do something?
  18. To what extent do I believe in my own intuition?
  19. What is my boundary in every kind of aspect?
  20. What is my contribution in the community?
  21. Why should I do ‘this’ instead of ‘that’?
  22. What do I want to become in the next 5 years?
  23. What do I want to become in the next 20 years?
  24. What do I want to achieve before dying?
  25. When I die, who do I want to be with in the very last days?

I’d wager you have much more life questions than this. I hope those questions are thought-provoking enough, therefore, we can break our limiting beliefs. Let the mind wander, because that’s exactly what makes human human.
