Why, when I'm not going about life's daily necessities, am I not in a state of inquiry? Do I pretend to know something that exempts me from that state? Do I believe I know what it means to be human and therefore needn't wonder? Do I believe I can know, once and for all, what it takes to live without certainty?

Why, if I have never been certain, do I believe I should be? Why do I believe the world I know can be radically altered beyond belief and all for the best? Where does this fundamental, unquestioned assumption come from, and why does it go unquestioned? Can I look at this assumption without fear of losing My Purpose? Can I live purposefully without believing much of anything?

He's not "just asking"; he's subtly implying that he knows, and he goes on in this mock inquiry vein until the reader must either gag or stupidly go along with him.

Not necessarily i told and you have proved it right. good questions to remain with, without even asking.

Another assumption is that life has a purpose or there is living "purposefully". Purpose implies belief, a belief that actions need to be planned or guided to an intended outcome.

You couldn't get anything done without purposeful intent. It doesn't require any belief to carry out the neccessities of life.

Go experiment( without intent) and tell.. or tell me what you have got with purposeful intent so far.

When there is certainity of out come, the belief does not come into the picture.Uncertainity is there when the out come is not sure, and the individual is driven by the urge to get the result,then the belief comes into picture.If one is unable to do things that are sure of getting it done, then it is incapacity of the individual.
