How many more questions?

So many questions, we have in our minds. We start with the maximum inquisitiveness, as a kid and most of us seem to lose it as the head grows high. Some do retain, the kid in them to continue remaining so. As a kid, everyone naturally learns things. Once you start your schooling you hit some real academic nerve-rackers. What follows is adolescence, intellect, maturity, experience, reflection, philosophy and all that crap. Along with you, the question curve ages too. Either you know the answers, stop searching it or have sought the Master Answer chained to all questions.
