Searching (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom

Searching for the answer "to an unasked question," Is like searching at night, In a dark room, For a black cat that is not there!

Well, in my own mind....there is a basic ontological difference, (dealing with religion, politics, or whatever else) between wanting to achieve the psychological security that inevitably comes from "cheap answers to stupid and silly questions" as compared with "an honest search for The Truth" which inherently carries with it the realization that the 'real questions of life' have no answers..... therefore leaving one with an existential anxiety that can only be filled with the integrity of knowing that one has involved one's self in an honest search for an obviously incomprehensible Truth.
