What makes me deserving to know the Truth about anything? Does questioning and contemplating make me worthy enough to know?

We are surrounded by great mysteries and questions. At some point in our lives, we have always wondered and questioned ourselves or others. Who are we? Why do we exist? Is there a Divine Power?

Most of us live our life not giving to much thoughts to these philosophical open-ended questions. Some of us seek to get as close as we can to the 'Truth' (if any) by pursuing knowledge by means of science, literature, religion or spirituality. Yet as much as we like to know the answers to them, there is one thing we forget to ask ourselves one question -

What makes us so deserving to know the truth more than others?

    Mar 13 2011: I am not sure what would make you unworthy. Why is it something you have to earn?

      Mar 18 2011: I do not think that I am unworthy, that question is moot because one can always conjugate reasons of why one does not meet certain criteria or conditions making him or her unworthy. Besides, you are answering a question by questioning its negation.

      Besides, the point of me asking what makes me worthy is that besides, my own curiosity and knowledge seeking attitude, I can't think of any other reason why I should get to know truth about anything.

      The idea was to ask - what makes anyone of us better deserving to know something about the world more than others?
