YES...!!! It is a simple question for those who are asking it, but you may not know how hurting is that to hear the same questions.....again and again...not only from you repeatedly...but from many as well....yet they still need to answer it without hurting you...! To help you understand their situation more easily...It's something like you are asking a bald-headed man "why there is no hair on your head?"
