A lingering question

There comes a time in life where you must answer a question. There are simple questions, hard questions, trivial questions. But this is a question that has had every single member of mankind hanging by their tounge.
"Not a single personel within the Earth's atmosphere even remotely requested that you inform us of your mental state." - Saul Fishington
What does this mean for everyone? More importantly, what does this mean for you?
It's a trivial question actually. But also a question that has been lingering for centuries. A question that has stumped every scientist known to man. Every philosopher that ever walked the earth. Even all the psychologists that grew up from a young age.
