When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
the universal silence stands still boastfully , and in its perpetual indifference,
his bitter sobbing usually receives no answer.
When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
the bragging cosmic mechanism does not pay the slightest attention to his wailing,
and in its contemptuous scornful eyes, his wailing is usually unanswered.
When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
the desolate lonely nights exhale their cold breath impatiently,
and amid their vacant cold heart, his hot tears usually find no answer.
When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
those close to him may fake some tears, and in their deaf, inattentive ears,
his agony usually finds no place to rest its head, save on their impassive unmoved cold shoulders.
When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
the crowded streets shrug their shoulders condescendingly and say:
A grain of sand on our sidewalk, is not worthy to receive any answer.
When a person cries bitterly, and asks mournfully for an answer,
the Providence is the only one who would listen carefully to his pains,
and is the only one who always offers the tormented soul an inspired answer.
But unfortunately, the inspired answer cannot be interpreted by the inherent limitation of the human mind,
and the tormented soul cannot find any solace, except through fabricating an answer.

Nice sentiments about your troubles, Samer. One more stanza of looking deep into your heart, and bingo!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
I tried to be not so personal in fact, I was just alluding to the theory of knowledge in general and how it is so difficult to obtain a suitable satisfying answer about most of our perplexing questions and troubles.
Absolutely spot on. If the answers were ready made for us, inquiring minds would disappear, making life rather boring and tedious.
Let me please express my great admiration for your wise statement about this important issue concerning our possible ways of gathering necessary knowledge, and satisfactory answers to our pressing questions.
Apologies for my delayed response. What you describe is in fact a journey that has been travelled by inquiring minds for much of recorded history. Yet in that journey, none has come up with a definitive answer to those persistent questions. While their thoughts may have broadened our horizons, I doubt they have deepened them as much. But for me, it certainly helps to delve into past minds. Regardless and importantly, if what we learn from ancient sages is to have meaning for us, IMHO, nothing compares to turning inward and explore the marvels inside ourselves. That, for me, is a journey that gives meaning to my life more than any other external stimuli. May your journey enjoy the fulfillment you seek.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and concise explanation of the long journey of human minds amidst
the uncharted seas of the unknown.
You have masterfully, in a few lines, illustrated the chief paths that we may follow in our earnest pursuit of knowledge, and finally the culmination of this struggle which must be directed towards the unfamiliar paths deep within ourselves.
Thank you, Seek, for sharing these lifelong wisdom really..
Always a pleasure, al Akh Samer.
