My Dad was sort of a lay philosopher who used the term "whither mankind" to describe his thinking about the human condition. He read layman's books on science and metaphysics just because they interested him; and would use that knowledge to try and find the common ground between the physical and the spiritual worlds. He was always great fun to talk to about pretty much anything. And I sure do miss him!
QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS
Copyright 2011 by Roger B. Stone
Questions unanswered and mysteries unsolved.
Unprovable theories and facts unresolved.
Whither mankind? Understanding one's wife?
And just what the heck IS the meaning of life?
Dilemmas like these are what prey on your mind.
You seek and you search, but no answers you find.
Quantum mechanics? Do animals think?
Was Australopithecus really The Link?
What started it all? Whence the whole human race?
What existed before the existence of space?
Big Bang? Steady State? Or divinity?
Is there really a God? And is He a She?
So many ideas, and when you retire,
Your brain can pursue the eternal quagmire.
New issues to ponder and questions to beg.
Like which DID come first – the chick or the egg?
