Explanations

     We all want explanations, to know the reasons, the how and why of life.  Comfort comes when we feel we have the answers to our questions.
     Some believe their religion holds the explanations, that everything is going according to a master plan.  Even if they don't understand now, they believe the reasons will be revealed later or in the afterlife.
     Without this type of faith, others accept the fact that some things have no explanation and some things will remain in the realm of the unknown.  Scientists realize they don't have the information to answer all the questions, but with research, they hope to add to their body of knowledge.  Maybe someday, they can discover the how and why to their questions.
     Often we have to decide if another person has the right explanations.  For example, which politician do we trust to have the right explanation of the past and the correct answers of what to do in the future.   
     We may have to become comfortable with the unexplained.  We can't always have a ready answer no matter how much we study scriptures or delve into scientific research.  We can still form opinions which may or may not be correct.  Others may have different opinions which may be right or wrong.  Sometimes we just have to admit that we don't know.
