Durian (or blue cheese) philosophy

To those uninitiated to the stinky fruit found in south east asia (durian) ...one word ..don't. The experience may be like slupping strawbarries ice cream in a filty toilet. To some it is the same as the stinky blue cheese. Durian, I hate, but blue cheese, I will die for. The tangy taste of the moulds growing out of a well matured cheese explodes to a thousand flavors.
I guess philosophy, world views or belief that is based on religion is similar to a certain extend. There is a certain divisiveness when philosophy is on the plate at any discourse. Unfortunately, some to extreme results. Although the answers given by sectors are different, the questions are similiar. As there is a universal hunger for food, the philosophical hunger brought about by the questions are similar. This evidence in the song we sing, the book we write and read, the stories we tell. There is also a universility in the question. Four questions seem to be the main, whereby other subsets are derived. 
The question of Origin
The question of Ethics
The question of Meaning
The question of Destiny

The belief system must answer them with logic as we know it, and all the answers must be nitted together as  a coherence whole.
