Profound?

An inquisitive mind makes man unique. Some say it is the only thing that separates us from apes, being conscious of our choices and able to raise questions about the world around us.

Oftentimes, once given a satisfactory answer, we fail to repeat the same question, vaguely assuming the answer will always be the same. We're so used to the way things are that we consciously reject alternative paradigms.

Progress, however, comes not from being complacent and ignorant. Development is a conscious choice, and so is the quest for knowledge. Scientists found the world to be changing, and answers to age old questions change with the times. It used to be that the world is flat, and that the smallest particle of matter is the atom. Now we know better.

Science is not the only one able to find new answers to old questions. Religion, too. And politics. And culture. Everything around us is not constant, even change changes.

There are some questions we do not ask, maybe because we know how many had tried before us and found no answers. Or maybe because we already know the answer yet reject its implications, or are afraid of the answer. But remember, had not Galileo asked, we wouldn't know today that the earth is round (but not perfectly). Had Newton not asked, gravity might not even be a word in our vocabulary.
Some questions I might as well risk asking now:

Why didn't Jesus have his own gospels?
Does it rain in heaven?
If there is no water in Mars, how does one take a shower?
Can we use blue on traffic lights to signify GO?
Why did they call the Nano a nano, when nano means a billionth of something?
Could it be that the real iPod is as huge as a mountain?
Why are coins round?
Why color money green?
Why call it Diet Soda?
Can't goat be man's best friend?

And you thought I was going to ask questions with answers of profound implications, didn't you? Gotcha!
