We live in a society that values answers.
Answers. Answers, without questions. Certainty.
Encounter someone with different answers, and you know they must be wrong.
It bothers you. Being right is good. Being wrong is bad.
Especially when being wrong threatens disaster.
You feel compelled to teach what you know — perhaps combatively.
If that doesn’t work, you avoid further confrontation. Save yourself the anguish.
Answers are questions dressed in fine robes. Like royalty, they have a tendency to squabble.
Questions are more modest. Think of them when you want to accomplish more with less effort.
Think of questions not as answers waiting to get dressed, but as your path to inspiration. For example, if you hear someone say something foolish, would you rather ask questions to prove yourself right, or learn something new?
Think before you ask. Let your questions teach you what you honestly wish to know.
