The most important question... Is there a God and are there after-life consequences for our choices and actions made in this life? Of course, many will disagree. So many don't even believe in God anymore, let alone an after-life, ah modern times, ah rational humanism. So, the most important question really becomes a matter of viewpoint and priorities. Therefore, I suggest we form a "world committee" to study this question. Years and years from now, after the World Committee has heard all petitions and all arguments have been presented and carefully reviewed we citizens of earth will follow the World Committee's policy procedures. Of course, as the World Committee, acknowledging that over six-billion people have presented an overwhelming numbers of issues for consideration, has formed six World-Region Sub-Committees and now literally hundreds of national and local World Focus Study Groups, those policy procedures are likely to be quite extensive, complex, and contradictory. Both CNN and FoxNews are reporting that there could be tens of thousands of most important questions in the world by the end of the year 2015, when the World Committee Most Important Questions in the World Now Policy Procedure Handbook is slated for initial public release. Member of the World Committee have been quoted as saying they feel confident all questions, from all people, will be factored into their account, and further, that all questions will be acted on and solved.

The fundamental first question: Who am I? followed shortly by: Who do I want to be? this defines how you think about and respond to everything else, how you define yourself as a poluter or a conservationist, as carbon neutral or excessively decadent.

The most important question for humans is; How will we handle our exponential population growth. It seems that humans have just overlooked the fact that we will be so far past the worlds carrying capacity fairly soon. As a result, we will experience mass starvations, disease outbreaks, war, governmental breakdown. In many respects, we need to allow natural population growth inhibitors, like starvation, disease, and war, to run their course, and help keep the human population from consuming the whole world. It is very Malthusian of me to say so, but I believe that it is also natural. a statistic; if unchecked, the human population will be so large in 200 years, that every person on earth will have an average of 1 meter squared, of space to move. Pretty frightening.

sun/moon, day/night, yin/yang, winter/summer, male/female, light/dark, hot/cold, good/evil...there is a natural balance in all that surrounds us, that binds us, that, until we came along, maintained our ecosystem...so I guess my question is how do we restore the balance that we have destroyed not just in our environment but in our societies, our relationships, our lives...?
