Let us live questioningly.

Questions after questions. The world is full of questions. We all are faced with questions to be answered. Every one of us has been answering such questions continuously. but whether we have pondered about the volume of questions answered by us and the quality of answers given by us.

Most of the times we have been facing momentary questions, and  we answer without thinking. Most of our answers are simply rough answers.

Before taking a  question we have never sorted them out. We never marshaled them nor did we ever wait for a better question to be answered. We receive a question and answer it almost involuntarily. We never thought about the utility, quality, urgency or relevance of a question coming to us. Questions are coming to us; we are answering them also but we do not bother about the origin of the the question.

I fail to understand why questions are not evaluated, weighed and measured. I do not know why we do not have enough home work before we answer a question. We answer every question spontaneously or with callousness.

Most of the questions can wait but we don not wait either for the question or for the answer. More strange is  that we have the question but we don't create question.

Even if questions are there we allow most of them to go unnoticed. They do arise but we do not care because we do not have the patience to wait for a question to solidify and take a definite shape. We do not have the energy to rear a question.

We do not conceive a question easily. I do not say that we are not fertile but i say that we are not willing to conceive a question. Conceiving a question is a painful experience. Before conceiving a question you have to watch around in the realm of fancy and reality, have to be ready to bear and this process disturbs completely. We have to watch,wait and bear and this is really painful.
Questions come like a flash. We will have to identify them and trace their origin and then conceive it within. We do not want to conceive a question because it will cause restlessness.

After conceiving a question we do not incubate it. We do not wait for it and most of the questions even if conceived unwillingly get aborted.

Yes, we are being continuously encountered with questions. Some questions penetrate unwillingly. We conceive them but then we don't carry them up to the stage of a full grown up question to be delivered to the society; to be answered by the society. We do not formulate a question with definite flesh. We do not see the limb of question, the soul of question, the heart, mind and blood of question and that is why most of our questions are without life. They are only a mass to be thrown away.
We are really resistant to own a question

Yes this is my question, this question has these dimensions. I have come before the society with mine question. Now i expect an answer from the society. No ,we do not do this. Nowhere, not a single father of a question has been seen or noticed. We have never thought who created those questions. Even if we have some questions, those are very superficial, momentary and we do not care for the life of the question. We don't take questions seriously.

Let us learn the art of fathering questions, mothering questions.

Let us live questioningly.
