Those of us who think and read and listen and are active in the why/wherefore questions are maybe guilty of underestimating those who don't announce their presence as not being robots. My own contacts have shown me that there are many people don't respond quickly to 'God and the world' questions - but when they do it has always surprised me.
What I can't get into my head is why we (not all obviously) accept being alive in flesh so phlegmatically as if to say being 'here' as I am, is 'normal'. They may as well add on 'it is as I expected'. There aren't many people who are astounded at being alive. There are also those who are prepared to take all sorts of risks, putting their own lives in danger.
Almost every child asks at sometime how/why am I here? The answers they get would fill a book and makes non of us the wiser.
There is, it seems to me, to be an inherent knowledge in the minds of mankind that no matter what happens everything will, in the end, be alright.
In my own case I recall at the age of about nine being suddenly overwhelmed at the simple
impossibility of being what we call 'alive', this realisation has never left me. To think that this may all be a product of my own imagination, shared or not, raises the question of consciousness into another dimension.
