Who? How? What? Which?

Who can distinguish twixt taking and giving,
Waking and sleeping, and dying and living?
How do you determine which side you are on 
The one on the right or the one on the wrong?
How do you consider decisions you make
And how do you justify chances you take?
What is the purpose in going or staying
When life's preoccupation is owing and paying?
With what do we measure what's good or what's bad?
What is it that makes us all happy or sad?
Which has more importance the answer or question?
Does anyone have an indifferent suggestion?
