WHATS IN MY BIG QUESTION FOR ME

I think the main thing that my big question will do is ease me. I have been frustrated with the curiosity of knowing if the life we live is in fact real. To me, this life we live doesn't make sense at all. Not only do we not know many things about it but we believe what others have told us about it. It will also bring a lot of closure. Not knowing what to think about this world or about this life we apparently have to live will let me know if doing my best in this life is really worth it.
