Sometimes i wonder why do pple date. Sometimes i wonder why do pple want to create a family.
Sometimes i even wonder why is "reproduction" relevant at all.
Bio science has its ways of explaining things: to disperse your genes, to multiply your progeny... In essence, to survive in this world somehow - even in form of puny genes that characterize part of one self.
Christianity, has its other way of explaining things: to do what's good in the eyes of God, to live according to His command of "...being fruitful and increase in number...(Gen 1:28)" In essence, to honor God's ways - even if one does not know why it should be that way.
But why survive, why increase in number? I don't think Bio science addressed the most interesting question in the case of reproduction. To my Christian experience so far, there isn't a clear reason why one should listen to God's commands either.
Hahah I think my last statement sounded like a blasphemous idea. I think intellectually i can explain to myself why i should do it. But intuitively, it's just hard to fully submit and say "i will listen"...
A hunch tells me that i won't get a definite answer in this life time until i meet my Father in heaven. *sigh* if only humans were not "thinking" creatures. Well in that case, free will will not exist eh?
Free will... ARR i'm digressing further and further. I'll stop here, because whether humans have free will or not is yet another unfathomable mystery to me. xD
I wish life were like my physics discussion last semester. Whenever I yell out "QUESTION!", my GSI will rush over echoing "ANSWER!" through our tall-ceiling discussion room. meh, wishful thinking x]

Open up your Bible to get some answers to your question.
And on a completely different note. You're a month away from completing P365 :]
31 days left!
I think you've brought up an interesting point...what sort of answer do you get from asking your questions? Nothing...which is an interesting answer in itself.
Good lucks moving!
Verification: hylodge = Hi! Lodge! =D good omen for you moving?
If you want, I can recommend you some dense reading :D
But, if you want something simple to reflect on deeply over time, think about these:
"All paths lead to the Dao [Way]."

One Thread."

Sofia love, I know how you're feeling. Questions, questions, questions, and there just doesn't seem to be any complete answer. But Sofia, don't give up =) I'm praying for you. God will definitely point you in the right direction. Don't worry, just remember "Seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; ask, and it shall be given you." (Luke 11:9, Matthew 7:7) Keep knocking on His door. He will answer but you got to be persistent! Love you!
