I was born into this world not knowing why I am born.
Is there an instruction manual to live life?
What is life?
Why am I here?
Is there a purpose?
What is the purpose of the things we do
What is the meaning of love and hate
Why do we fear and have courage
Why do we procrastinate
Why are we diligent
Why do we laugh
Why do we cry
Why do we kiss?
And why do we meditate?
Why the f$@# are we here?
This is all madness?
Why are there cops
Why is there a jury
Why are people compassionate
Why do we have doctors
Isnt it just madness?
Why do we do it anyway
We are all just gonna end up dead!

I have been questioning such things in a spiritual way. So your writing has perfect meaning.
