24 Questions from a 24 Year Old

If you have any questions to add...please feel free! I also reserve the right to chane and/or edit my questions!

1) Why can't we all live by the beach?
I've never had a bad time while I was on the beach.
2) Why don't Priests use please and thank you's when talking to God?
I've been taught to always use please and thank you's with everyone and I never understood why we almost demand God for forgiveness or strength.
3) If high heels are so uncomfortable why to people wear them?
4) Why are children starving?
There is enough food in the world there is no reason why there should be kids starving. I read a disturbing article where a man wanted to explain away starvation by an almost Natural Selection phenomenon. As if we shouldn't do anything because the weak are dying which will make the strong stronger...I don't know if I have ever read anything sadder in my life.
5) Is it possible to forgive and forget?
6) Is it a coincidence that the two hardest things to say are both 3 words long and have more power over people then any other phrase in the English language?
"I am Sorry" "I Love You"
7) Why can't you realize that it's not your intentions that cause reactions but how your message is perceived?
8) Why don't we sing more?
I know I can't sing, I know I have no musical talent...but I don't think you should have to be a good singer to sing. Sometimes people just want to sing!
9) Is this year the beginning to Nebraska's return to dominance?
If so, tape the games for me!
10) Why don't we give more to charity?
How much is too much? $5, $50, $5,000, $50,000, $500,000, ??? At what point did you consider those numbers to be a ridiculous sum to give? Instead of that extra beer, that monthly pedicure, instead of that purse you've wanted or that fight you were going to order on t.v. donate to a charity!
11) Why is it so hard to volunteer your time?
12) Why are the foods that taste so good, so bad for you?
13) Why is it so hard to stay in touch with friends with family?
14) Is a job the means to do something you'd like or is a job supposed to be doing that thing you like?
Read it again and slower...does it make sense? This is an important one!
15) How much planning can we do for the future if the future is yet to be determined?
Why do we worry about things that are so far in advance ,when we are not even guaranteed that we will see tomorrow or that our best laid plans have somehow become irrelevant.
16) Does the end always justify the means?
17) Why is it so hard to admit to being wrong?
18) Why is there always drama with some people?
19) How come it is so hard for us to believe we deserve happiness?
20) With so many memories stored in our brain why is it that certain ones creep to the conscious?
I have recently gotten in touch with an old friend...a friend that, together, we've created many many memories. I find it pleasantly surprising the things I remember and tragically unfortunate the things I can't recall, but I look forward to trying to recover them with my friend.
21) How come we can go off to war and fight for our country but we can't have a beer until we are this age?
22) Is it considered selfish to pray for yourself?
23) Why do those closest to you sometimes hurt you the most?
We have such high standards for our loved ones... I can't figure out why they say and do things that seem that the only objective of that action was to hurt us. In order to "push somebody's buttons" you have to make a conscious effort to lift your hand and push it...you can't accidentally push a button!
24) Why don't we toast more often?
Every drink, toast to me, to you, toast to those that aren't with you, toast to health, laughter, and happiness, toast to love lost and love found, to those that said no and to those that said yes, toast to family and friends, to the ability to watch a Husker game, toast to the bartender or the next table over, toast to those that are at work, to those that can't toast, toast your troubles away, toast to the smile of a friend, and to the laughter of a child, toast to birthday's and to Wednesday's, toast to Peterbilt trucks and Cat engines, toast to a new school year or a new patient...toast to memories!

Here's to you, PROST!
