Perhaps maybe when we ask the questions, we will have in mind how the persons we pose our questions to... will answer the questions ...guess, thus knowing the answer, will let the question lost its meaning ...but if we dun ask questions ...do you think we will get to understand the subject more deeply...if we had not really know the subject well ....and it doesn't matter if you know the answers (becos there is no standard answers to questions)....but guess the affords and effects of asking questions is a necessary skills to expand a ever growing mind, heart and life :)

so, to question, in and of itself, has meaning...........aside from that of being the catalyst to an answer........

and yes, how often do we ask a question when we already believe we have an answer?

which brings me to ask..........when is a question not a question?

Sally Ang said...

Sometimes questions are asked to build a bridge between the persons...dun you think...the world will be very dull if there is no questions ....question marks "?" hooked signs ...is to get your attention ...to catch you ....on whatever awareness or unawareness you are having ....when question is not a question ...is when you are stating a fact ...just like God is love ....is fact...and what you accept as facts are not facts ....unless you understand the questions ask and be able to deliver a conclusion that makes sense and create a non existence into an existence....aren't the inventors and sciencists the most intellgient questions "askers"....well ...i am not a sciencist ....nor an artist ...i studied engineering during my teritary education :)

so, s.a., an answer is not necessarily a fact. but can be a way of bringing something new into existence.

something that might enable me to ask more questions and be a part of the process of birthing newness.

and that newness can be like a bridge on which to travel and discover other people along the way..........

i like that........thanks!

Anne, i enjoy answering your questions and looking at your drawing ...btw why did you draw an eye with red colour ....are you looking for an answer ...passionately?? ...haha

anne artist said...

s.a., i love this!

red for me is a color representing life...........

is there life within a question?
