Is it pointless to dwell on the same old philosophical questions? Eventually you find the answers you are looking for, or you don't, and either way you change from the person you once were to the person you are now. The new person you become is either still interested in the types of questions the previous person was interested in, or he is interested in a whole new set of questions. If the person is interested in the same types of questions he was interested in before he asked the first set of questions, can we say that this is a changed person asking the questions? Perhaps the fact that he is still asking the same questions proves that the person he once was still has not evolved into...
If I actually wanted someone to understand what I am saying I would probably say it this way: If you asked me today, "Why are we here?" and tomorrow you asked me the same question I would have to say that you are the same person you were yesterday. A new person would have figured out the answer to yesterday's problem and moved on to the followup question, "Where are the doughnuts?" The second question being a direct corollary of the first, plus a little demonstration of emotional growth. However, a person who continually asks the same question shows that he is still "hung up" on the same nonsense he was hung up on the day before.
What I postulate is that growth, in the philosophical sense, is the product of moving on to new sets of questions.
What are your new set of questions?

Limonana
Mint Lemonade. It really tastes a million times better than it sounds. Having gone into many restaurants and ordering Limonana, I have developed a taste for it's refreshing flavor. At first I thought that it was some sort of Spanish drink. After all, Spain is the home to all sorts of interesting things, and the word ends with "ana", a Spanish sounding sound. However, a simple internet search, as well as consulting with many Spanish people, informed me that in fact Limonana is an Israeli drink. It seems you have to be Jewish to really know how to enjoy life.
Lemons
Fresh Mint Leaves
Sugar
Ice
I'll let you discover the secret to making it taste like Heaven.
You have to work to get to Heaven.
