Jim, a philosophical poem indeed! Asking questions is never a bad thing though finding answers and really getting to the depths of motivation isn’t so easy. Many people seem to prefer to run on impulse. It would be a lot to even get to where your poem suggests but what a wonderful starting point. Plato would be envious. Smiles!!
