Everything Has Been Said Already.
Why life's questions have always had answers
No matter what you think, do or say, it has already been experienced before. As the legend states, "Nothing is new under the sun". This is a true fact, and what is even more real is this..." Everything changes to stay the same". Everything that has changed has only evolved to its next state, which is the conservation of energy. Whatever your grand plan, there is a way to achieve it. The only thing that change has to offer is a new way to alter reality. Since this is true, there is an infinite number of ways to go about your goals. Furthermore, if this yields truth, then nothing can stop you from completing anything you wish.
Every philosophy and question you have has been explored to its completion. Even the questions that do not yet have answers have been thought through by minds greater than you and I. What about questions of morality, justice, behavior....yes, they have been answered in many ways throughout history. Every sort of justice, moral philosophy and behavior has been experienced by humans already, whether you accept the way in which it was shown or not. Medieval executioners have upheld a terrorizing message of justice, while messiahs and saints have upheld a compassionate mindset towards justice for all. What ever moral dilemma or hurdle, there is someone now or in the past who has tried to reconcile it.
Surely, I can not say that the mysteries of the universe have been solved, but they have. What we may have observed is not all the universe has to hold, although what has been observed has been sequenced and is already in the process of study. The development of these ideas and phenomena are deeply intertwined in the minds of the world's greatest adventurers. I challenge you to name a phenomenon that does not already exist and or has not been explored. Even events or happenings that others do not believe have happened are studied heavily by unknown masses.
With all that has been said, the achievements of the human race can become more vast than ever. It is in my belief that since history has compounded within itself, all human and natural experience, the key to unlocking major human milestones is discovering past solutions. The problems the world is facing such as hunger, lack of potable water, illiteracy can and do have solutions that should be implemented now. If we make problems like these a priority over economies, borders, politics than miracles can happen.
How do you find the answers you seek? It depends on what you want to know, but one must surround him/herself with all the appropriate and adjacent knowledge. If you want to study medicine, then you must also study the politics of medicine, medical history, social medicine etc... in order to finally come out with the wisdom you need. In order to become a master inventor, it would pay off to know current patents and historical ones as well. You are what you think about and the answers come when living within the question.
There are but two things you need to keep in mind when on your journey, they are action and mistake. Action is when you are proactive in seeking out your answers. Mistake occurs when action fails or when action ceases to exist. The trick to learning from your mistakes is to keep action as alive as possible. Do not act out of anything but the experience of answering your ultimate question. The answers will slowly become apparent to you as you chug along. This is due to you focusing on the issue itself and not solely yourself. You can more clearly see the parameters surrounding what you want to achieve. A strict and unwavering selfishness towards your goal/question is negative and will derail you on your path. Stay on course and eventually others will join you in your pursuit.
Finally, you want to remember that nothing is too big, too lofty and too outrageous because no matter what, there is someone out there who's already tried it.
