an addition to 'whys and hows' . . .

i was thinking more about the why and how questions. and i came up with another question:

why do we question things so much?

and then it hit me. a long time ago, way back in the beginning, i suppose humans (adam and eve, really) didn't question things. things simply were. the relationship that they had with the Creator was such that there was no reason for them to question anything for everything that they needed was provided . . . they had NO NEED - physically or spiritually. their perfect relationship with God and the perfect world in which they lived left nothing to be questioned. i suppose the questions only came when sin came. when the relationship was wrecked, when the balance was disrupted.

in a way, sin, at least for a lot of the big "adult" why questions, is both the cause for them and the answer to them:

why does sickness and death strike people that we love so strongly and suddenly?
why do we humans hurt each other so much?
why is it that God seems so far off sometimes?

does this make any sense?

it seems to me that
the reason that we question is because we were created to understand.

does this seem way off? i'm really just thinking out loud on this one . . .
