Questions & Questions
It is the uncertainty of the whys that generates the certainty of knowledge. Indeed, it is from uncertainty that one arrives at certainty and knowledge. Without an unanswered, unresolved and derided why, knowledge, discovery, certainty cannot be born. If we all knew the answers, then there would be no questions. A life without questions would be nothing. Nothing, in fact, does not ask questions, does not pose problems, does not require answers. Silly questions? Trivial questions? Useless questions? Maybe. Who says it then, after all? Isn't the one who asks the question looking for an answer?
