I Wonder...

Despite the similarities such as eating, sleeping, procreation, and defending between humans and other creatures. one of the things that sets us apart is that we have a fifth faculty: the intelligence to enquire into the truths of our existence. We have the ability to engage in abstract thinking (thought), which is the contemplation of things beyond what we can see or sense. We have the ability to express ourselves in ways we feel most comfortable with.

 As a result of the extraordinary valuable ability i possess as a human to be introspective, i wonder about a bazillion things:


I wonder about the magnificent power of God.
I wonder how the earth according to the scientists is spherical.
I wonder how the earth is a sphere, yet we do not roll over each other.
I wonder how the sun, the moon, and the stars know when it is their turn to give light to the world.
I wonder how the cloud forms and the sky changes at the droplets of rain to the earth.

I wonder how the stars are so tinny, still according to the scientists, a star is bigger than the earth, and one tinny star we see, contains more than a billion stars (galaxy or milky way).
I wonder how 70% of the earth is water and do not flow past their boundaries.
I wonder if we ever give God a headache.
I wonder how there are gold , diamond, and other fascinating precious stones, still we suffer, do i say we are lazy, lackadaisical or its just our unbelief?
I wonder how an ejaculation turns into life within months.

I wonder how people know so much yet know so little.
I wonder how the whole earth shares only one sun and moon at intervals.
I wonder how we are identified by the colour of our skin, shape of our nose, colour and length of our hair, colour of our eyes and in some cases shape of our heads (lol).
I wonder, what if we were all black, white, red or brown, how would the world be like? what will change?
I wonder what the world would be without the agony of pain, paroxysm of joy, diseases, sicknesses, evil. Would life be boring? Should we accept it as part of the condiments of life or are they what makes life worth living.

I wonder how much of the world's goodness we would have to absorb if we lived forever.
I wonder why it's only water that can quench our thirst. Can't we just make do with sodas?
I wonder how some are rich and others are poor, even though most of them work twice as hard.
I wonder if poverty will and can ever be eradicated. How would the world be without poverty?
I wonder the level of development we would attain if ALL the United Nations, September 2000 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were certified to have been achieved by 2015 (as targeted). I wonder, indeed i wonder.

I am surely not the only person who has questions, even though we don't get answers, we satisfy that part of us that just wants to let it out. I am not the only person who has thought floating in the head. Wondering keeps us open to reasoning, possibilities, solutions, and more knowledge of the topic of wonder. Never loose your sense of wonder!

Please leave a comment and let me know just one thing you wonder about (i mean anything). I would be glad to publish it in the second part of "I wonder..." So we could share in the areas our minds haven't even thought of wondering.
