Why is there life?
Why is there matter?
Why should there be anything?
Specific practical questions – and their answers – concerning our immediate environment are invaluable for our physical survival.
How high will the river rise? How to catch that rabbit? Will my boss fire me? Will the stock market go down or up?
Conversely, the profound questions, the really big ones, are unimportant to our physical survival. That’s why we don’t ask them often.
Why is there life? Why is there matter? Why should there be anything?
Perhaps, we are destined never to know the answers.
