"The wise child asks the same question each year, again and again.
That is wisdom: To ask a question of perpetual wonder.
Even once it is answered, today is another Exodus. Today the wonder is renewed."
[Chabad.org]
The wise child. What question would a wise child ask over and over again, and get different answers each time and never really have that question sufficiently answered so he must ask it again and again?
The question I see in this regard, would be "Where is G-d?"
Today a prayer was answered, as I became cured of an incurable disease of which there is no cure. My prayer was answered and my friends' prayers for me were answered.
Diagnosed with Glaucoma the irregular eye pressure illness, it was cured after I received laser eye surgery 2 years ago on my right eye. My eye doctor today told me that if one has Glaucoma, it never goes away, but this laser surgery cured me of this incurable eye disorder.
So, where is G-d? G-d is in the hands of these physicians, and G-d is in my eyes, and G-d is all the beautiful colors I am able to see with my eyes. G-d is in my eyeglasses, as they enable me to see far distances.
Next year, the wise child will again ask "Where is G-d?" And again G-d may show Himself in the miracles of your life, as you may again live another year of health, without an illness that you thought was incurable, but that G-d was able to cure.
G-d is in the cures and in the sustenance of your life, He is the One Who deserves praise and thanks as He grants you another year as a living not deceased human, as we live to praise G-d and to thank Him for giving us continued life. As instead if we are deceased, we can no longer praise Him and we become just dust, so it is important to continue to live and to care for yourself to stay alive another year into a senior age.
Yes, where is G-d? He is in your ability to breathe breath after breath, as you stay alive for another moment to enjoy a life with others who are living.
Chai means life, and "l'chaim!" means To life! A good reason to live is so that you can celebrate another Jewish Holiday and then again another one with good cheer!
