Don't question GOD, as he may say, if you are so eager for answers, then please come up.

Ew ... from that perspective, questioning God may not be ideal.
Living a happy, joyous, and free life by embracing the mind, body, and spirit.
It was taken from the humor section. I guess I should've mentioned that.....
Cute quote, paw!
When I was very young, I was taught that it was a sin to question. Later, I realized that it was probably not healthy to hammer myself for having thoughts of any type - that it was what I did with them that counted. I think this realization was part of the change that led me to be comfortable inside my own head.
It is proper for you to doubt ... do not go upon report ... do not go upon tradition ... do not go upon hearsay. - Buddha
Nowadays, I wake up thinking, "what a great day to be alive!" I am OK with the concept of not being perfect, and with that of life not being perfect, and with that of dying. So, if a question arises, I consider it - why not? If it popped into my head, it's automatically part of my life and I should acknoledge it and deal with it!
And if it's time to ask God in person, so to speak, then that's cool too. After all, what better place to go for answers?
A man is guilty of unpardonable arrogance who concludes, because an argument has escaped his own investigation, that therefore it does not really exist. - David Hume
Funny thing for me: most of the trouble I got myself into in life happened because I was reacting to this or that impulse while hiding from this or that anxiety or fear. If I had stopped to question why I felt afraid or why this impulse made me feel better, I might have changed directions long before I did!
Sorry to run on, Paw! I did get a laugh from the quote, though. As you can see, it also started me thinking, so I guess I got double value from it! Thanks for that...:).
