What Comes After a Question?

Lying awake each night, I wonder what is the best way to live a life. Every action leads to a reaction, and how that fits into the scheme of things while circling this universe plagues my mind. How far ahead into the future can I see and predict my fate? How does each small action contribute to something relevant?

What lies at the core of all this questioning is the very reason for existence. Why? Why not? And for whatever reason, how? How does one keep doing actions that result in a life made relevant? It doesn't matter once we are gone. I want my actions now to result in something in the present. I don't know what to expect in the future, and frankly, I have stopped wishing for a better future. That is a futile way to live a miserable present. What I want to do concerns my present. How do I make living in the now worthwhile?

Many sleepless nights are yet to come and many a dreary day lie ahead.
