The useful and the useless

Mankind lives in a world full of all manner of things. There are some things they consider usefl; And then there are the things they consider to be otherwise.

The useful: These are things that help. Things that have the potential of aiding man in one way or another to achieve his goals.

The useless: These things have absolutely no value to mankind. Their existence is one that is without purpose or existential reason.

So the question is: " Why do the useless exist? "

Mankind was placed in this world naturally searching for a reason. From questions of why we are here to questions of the very nature of what here is.

Of course it is highly unlikely that men will ever learn the truth to everything.

So it is more than likely that we may never know if all things were created with good reason; Unless one puts great faith in God's plans.

In the eyes of the faithful, there is a reason for everything to exist. All things in this world has a use for mankind. It is just we who may not be wisened up to these hidden secrets.

This entire realm that God created for mankind presents us with many gifts. Some with uses clear as crystal, others with purposes hidden from us.

What use is the stars to us?

Do butterflies serve any purpose more practical than beautification?

Do roses do anything at all besides looking pretty?

Is looking good a useful or useless trait?

As time passes us by, man uncovers more of the ties that binds the world. The web of cause and effect is clearly in existence. But does it include all things in this world?

Are there objects or organisms that are removed from the web of cause and effect? If there are such things, are they useless?

We eagerly label things according to their usefulness judging them by the passing moments. How many among us realise though, that things change? How many of us realise that useful items can become useless in time and vice-versa?

Do we just throw aside things that lose their usefulness? Do we always set aside objects that may serve a purpose in the near future?

Or are we merely fools to think there are any distinctions between the useful and the useless at all?
