Some thoughts

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, and during our conversation i was asking a lot of questions (as always) and he was like:
''Lewis your always asking questions''
Now it may seem like a boring statement, but for me it really hit home. Ever since i was a kid i have always been inquisitive... i used to be called Mr. Why.
But as he said that it triggered a chain reaction in my mind and i realised that over the past week i had been told that same thing at least a dozen times.
Now if your told something that many times in one week its probably factual or at least seems to be factual.
So i sat there on my own and was wondering, is being curious a really bad thing?
Now i dont mean in the way like asking someone ''Are you a virgin'', or ''Do you masturbate'' (i have been asked that before :( )
I mean in the sense that you are curious for the reason for things, when someone asks you to do push ups, instead of saying ''How many?'' you say ''Why?''
Now some people i know would consider this a blatant refusal to obey and therefore bad, or as i have been told ''A stupid question'', but i dont believe any question if asked with the right motives can be considered wrong.
When you ask for the reason behind something you are not disobeying, or fighting againsts someones authority, you are merely asking for the reason y u have to do something which u had no intention to do in the first place. Is it so bad to want to have a reason to do something.
Even in religion the 'Why Syndrome' exists but in a different way. When God asks something of you, you may not say why but thats because the circumstances are different, if you believe in God then you realize that he is a all knowing all seeing being and he knows wat hes doing so no worries.
I guess this whole post will be easily traced to my own behavior by people who know me, i am a person who is very why orientated, this does not mean i dont like to work, or i dont like to obey. TOTALLY untrue, the fact is that i like to know why, therefore i am in full sync, body and mind united together for one purpose which i understand and can relate to, this is far more effective than a body doing something and the mind complaining about how boring this is and how it would rather be playing Halo 3 or basketball.
As i end this rambling post, i would like to say that to all you people out there who feel afraid to ask why, afraid to question, i say never fear that for if a world stops questioning a world stops growing.
