Most of us are taught to find the answers to the questions. We begin the game at a very early age with questions like ‘where is the kitty?’ to ‘what color is that?’ We attend grammar school and learn the answers to math problems, science issues etc. As we get older and our brain progresses we are taught the process on how to find the answers. As adults our lives evolve around the answer. Our boss wants answers, our lives require answers; there is an answer to every fathomable question even if it isn’t the one we think is correct.
There are two varieties of people when it comes to the question and answer chronicles. One type of person loves to dig for the answers to everything and anything. They want to know what makes certain things tick, what makes them do what they do or not do. These people enjoy the chase of the discovery.
Then there are the folks that want to question those answers. For the most part they can accept the majority of answers to the basic questions in life. If a scientist or specialty person says thus and thus it can be accepted especially if it doesn’t directly affect their day to day life. But there are a ton of answers that have been given by persons that we thought were qualified and as we grew up we began to discover that they weren’t really all that eligible. If these answers have an affect on our daily life then we want to know who that person was that said it was ‘thus and thus’ because in the practicality of life ~~ it’s not like that.
It is easier to just accept answers that sound good rather than take the time and energy to reach out beyond and discover if there is more to what we have been told. For me personally, I am on a journey to discover the truth in all things. It isn’t easy and I go against the grain and peeve people off by asking so many ‘questions’ about why the answer is the one it is but it is a journey I must make…on my journey home.
‘Unanswered questions aren't nearly as dangerous as unquestioned answers.’
