Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue ... do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them ... and the point is to live everything ... live the questions now ... perhaps you will then, without noticing it, live along into the answers.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

As I've grown I've learned that the actual answers aren't so important as puzzeling out the questions. For me that's the real joy. Knowing and having are nice but it's the quest it self, there's the fun.
