2A. Asking obviously puerile questions connecting irrelevant factors must be avoided because at the outset they sound silly as Edsger Dijkstra gives a classic example, “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim”Subtopic
2B..But asking oneself too many questions may indicate some complex. Miriam Toews says, “Perhaps depression is caused by asking oneself too many unanswerable questions”.ubtopic
3A. James Thurber, “It is better to ask some of the questions than to know all of the answers”
3A1. Neil Postman, “Everything we know has its origins in questions. Questions, we might say, are the principal intellectual instruments available to human beings.”
3B. Richie Norton, “Questions open a space in your mind that allow better answers to breathe".
3B1. Mehmet Murat Ildan writes, “You don’t have to answer every question that comes to your mind because some questions are like ‘matryoshka’ dolls; once opened, new ones come out!”
3C. Voltaire, “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers”.
3C1.Shannon L. Alder, “Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”
3D. Richard Feynman, “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned”.
3E. Claude Levi-Strauss, “The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions.”
4A.As T.S. Eliot so eloquently described it in Little Gidding:
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Susan Greenfield points , "This last line is the whole point, the original place is actually now somewhere different."
4B. "Susan Greenfied, "The very effort we invest in the journey of discovery, in the time spent joining the dots and making connections across networks of neurons, gives an importance, a significance, to what we learn, so that we see things in a new way….we are in a reverse scenario,……where our brains are saturation bombed with answer but where it is not hard to be distracted not lose sight of what we wanted to know at the outset”.
4C.Milan Kundera, in The Unbearable Lightness of Being writes, “Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers. A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.”
7A. Unfortunately the whole or complete picture of life is yet unknown to many of us [if we are honest and humble enough to accept] but not unknowable.
7B. This unknown mystery is so because of various factors of which the two most glaring are our chronologically limited mortal body frame and the limited abilities and perceptions of our mental frame and this prevents us from simultaneously perceiving many things at both the micro as well as macro level.
7C. But despite the limited existence of our individual body and all the limitations of our mind, we as human beings have explored the unmapped atlas of life enjoying, experiencing and enlightening ourselves in the process. Life as whole has been constantly reciprocating us with both sweet melodies and bitter tragedies in the course of our explorations and experiences
6A. Phenella writes in “The Unwritten Comedy”,
“To be ignorant of many things is expected
To know you are ignorant of many things is the beginning of wisdom.
To know a category of things of which you are ignorant is the beginning of learning.
To know the details of that category of things of which you are ignorant is to no longer be ignorant.”
