Have you ever wondered why that you wonder why? Why can I not accept that things are the way they are for a reason? Why do I have to love someone who doesn't love me or even wants to love me? Why this never ending cycle of asking why? With each why comes an emotion that can tear your heart and your soul to shreds. The volume and intensity of the "Why" sometimes destroys my desire to hope that maybe, just maybe, there is an answer to the "why." Then I remember that if I just live it in the hands of the Master, then I don't have to ask "why", but simply put my hand in His and trust that He has the answers to the whys and I don't always have to know. Just know that He is looking out for my best and He loves me.

faith can be a comfort in troubling times. although i don't "practise" a religon, i talk to GOD every now and then--- not just to ask for something, but also to thank Him for something positive that happens. when i think this way--- i often ask myself, "WHY ?" can't i accept the formal religon i was raised in. guess it'll always be a mystery.

Have you ever wondered why that you wonder why? It's a test . . . the 2 yr old who is learning to talk tests parents by asking WHY! 
Why this never ending cycle of asking why? Who, what, when & where can always be answered factually. "Why" is the only question that can be answered 10 different ways by 10 different people. Humans are meant to ask "Why" because without attempting to answer it, we would not have many of the inventions & modern conveniences that we do.
Asking "Why" allows for reflection & improvement. "Why" is a good thing.

It's human nature to ask why. Such a small word with such a big meaning.
I think sometimes we're not suppose to answer it...just take in faith that God has His reasons and we can't always know what they are in our lifetime.
Other times that word is a door that opens to examine what is within us...the purpose is self analysis that can bring the answers...and not always the ones we want but the ones that will generate a needed change within ourselves and that can often bring us peace of mind.
Too often we look for the answers we WANT with tunnel vision...we WANT it to be this way or that. Sometimes what we WANT isn't in our best interest and God knows that...yet we hang on tenaciously and keep asking WHY?
Personally, after years of spinning my wheels with tunnel vision, I was to discover with self analysis that what I thought I wanted wasn't really what I wanted after all. It was amazing how that little word...why...has nearly been eliminated from my vocabulary now.
I live for what IS...and let God handle the rest. Now my only "why" is why didn't I learn that a long time ago?  Probably because there were other things I needed to learn along the way to bring me to this point of real peace in my life. I'm satisfied with that answer.

Answers come in strange ways sometimes for me anyway..but to me the scary thing would be if I stopped asking why..

I think I figured out the answer to your question. I was sitting here thinking about just that same thing a couple of days ago. I don't think you ever stop loving someone you loved, but being away from that person whom you loved just kind of fades into the background, but that love still remains in your heart. I also think that the reason we hold onto the love we had for that person, even 'though that person may not have loved us, is that it was a happy time in our lives, that when we think of those times spent with that person, it makes us feel happy inside. It could have been any person really, we could have fallen in love with another person and felt the very same way, or....because we felt happy in that situation, whether it was a tight friendship with that person, we equated that with love.
For instance put yourself in a similar situation, lets say for a minute that your friend, the one you loved had a house, so you felt comfortable there, felt at peace. Now distance yourself from that person and concentrate on another person that you may have made who also has a house. Think, is it because that person has a house why you felt secure and loved? Could you feel the same way with this new person who has the same things to offer you? Sometimes we fall in love because things in the relationship act like a security blanket for us. Does this make any sense to you? Anyhoo, just my thoughts on things.
It's just that it was a happy time in our lives, everything was going well...we had a job, we had someone to love and care about, we felt protected and cared for. See where I am going with this? We can love again, we think that is the only time we can be happy by being with that person, but honestly, that is not true. We deserve to have someone in our lives that truly loves us.
