Actually, that’s a question too. But, really, can there ever be too many questions? I think not. I don’t believe and would argue that there can ever be too many questions. I believe that it is the ability to ask questions that sparks our creativity. Questions spur us onward to find answers which typically evolves into even more questions. Questions is the engine that moves us, many times way beyond the box.
But the point is that there are always questions you never do ask. I think of all the questions I never asked my parents or grandmothers. These would be the questions about who they were, what their relationships were, where they came from, what their experiences were. I hate to say but I never thought about it. This reinforces my personal belief that the young don’t think about these things because they are involved with discovering their world. What a tragedy. It is our history that tells us how we got to where we are. History is the hand of belonging, the hand of understanding.
My suggestion is always face any problem or difficulty by asking questions. Remember, questions are designed to lead. They can lead us to understanding which allows us to act intelligently and purposely. Questions lead us to pursue our answers to move us into knowing. You will be led to discover options, ramifications, and alternatives. But… if you only seek answers, you’ll rarely discover wisdom. Questions lead us further than only answers, if we allow it.
I’ve often said that I’ve never found a question I didn’t like. It’s true. Though sometimes the places those questions led were uncomfortable because they involved discovering truths about self or about life that were difficult to accept. But they never misled. For me, one of my personal goals has always been wisdom. Part of wisdom is applying knowledge. And a path to knowledge is questions. Questions are a path to discovery, to adventure…
…your questions?
