With so many questions running through my head and the kind of thinking that goes behind answering those questions it's inevitable that you do reach the next logical step – the ANSWERS. We all find answers, some sooner than the others. Some find it within themselves; some find it in their day to day lives. Some answers just stare at you when you least expect them, some come face to face after a lot of penance and toil while some others bump into you just by chance! But I believe you find them one way or the other.
Funny thing are these answers. Have you ever wondered how certain answers are never satisfactory, some answers just bring back the joy in your life? Some others make you want to ask a few more questions while some answers make you wish you had never asked that question...
Exceptions are always there of questions that cannot be answered. It's the process then that matters. The process of finding an answer. We all do that. Flow through life looking for answers of questions that blind us. That is a part of our life. The other part being making choices.
It's this constant state of questioning and answering that makes life more interesting and worthwhile. When the questions diminish, the answers stop flowing in and the whole cycle of life stagnates. What is life if one accepts everything as it is? When one decides there is nothing more to find out in life or worse that he knows everything that he needs to know in life. Rarely will we find people blatantly vocal about these thoughts or even aware of it. It's the way they conduct their life that make us wonder, when did they stop asking questions!
I wish my brain never stops questioning me, my every thought. I do take for granted some thoughts, but what the heck! I am still learning.
P.S: This post was for all those concerned souls who wished to know what happens with so many questions in my mind. How do I ANSWER those questions… I hope u now understand the full circle.

ULYSSES
It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
This is my son, mine own Telemachus,
To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle,---
Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
A rugged people, and thro' soft degrees
Subdue them to the useful and the good.
Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere
Of common duties, decent not to fail
In offices of tenderness, and pay
Meet adoration to my household gods,
When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.
There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me ---
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads --- you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
