100 Questions
Questions, I've found, tend to form a rather large part of our lives. We tend to question everything: ourselves, others, why something is one way and not another, why we have to do certain things, and more. Perhaps it has to do with our genetic make-up, as humans are notorious/infamous for being incurably curious. Ever since the dawn of mankind, we've been questioning and exploring everything we could get our hands on, and have often been surprised by what we've discovered.
In celebration of mankind's curiosity, here are 100 questions I've thought about and consequently written down. Some of them are deep and meaningful, others are silly and ordinary. Some of them are related, and others still serve no meaningful purpose. Enjoy!
