Seminars that lead you into a cave without any answers.
Its kind of funny how often we as students of this world want to be able to answer the questions that mean so much to us and our well being. We want to be able to point out solutions to the problems, but so many times we are unable or incapable of doing so. Maybe the answers aren't here now, but who knows what the future will hold? Soon, the answers may come, come from our minds, our hearts, and our societal collaboration of ideas. I want the answers and would like to be the one with some of the answers, but if we had all the answers there wouldn't be much for us to talk about now would there? In time some questions will be answered, whether right or wrong we wont know until after we try to solve the problems. Trial and error. What am I talking about anyway? Well, just about everything that is an issue to this date. Societies will come up with what they think is best, then when society changes so will the idea of what is best. We are constantly changing as individuals, and as a planet. Can we ever have a clear answer to some of the controversial issues or is the fact that the issue is controversial disallow this from ever happening? Where do we go from here?

I guess the only answers come in the form of history, everyone always says "hind sight is 20-20," my answer may be dancing around your dilemma, but I think that you hinted to this idea as well.
What questions are you talking about? Are you looking for the meaning of life? I think that when you search for answers and come back with nothing, its either because you arent digging deep enough or the issue at hand is too controverisal for anyone to find the answer too. Questions remain unanswered for a reason. The reason being that we arent supposed to know certain things. Consider this: if we knew everything what is left for the imagination?
While there are some things that we can never know for sure, there are many questions we can answer and have answered. Societies’ views change through education and even if we can’t get concrete answers to all our questions, through collaboration with each other, we are better able to understand why we can’t answer the question. Sometimes we have to accept there are different answers which are not necessarily wrong – just different and maybe that’s what makes the issues controversial.
