We must keep asking questions. Questions lead us to the truth. So, before we ask questions, we should understand that there is an unresolved truth; a hidden truth, a truth close to doubt and uncertainty, a truth that has not been touched, a truth that has not been experienced, a truth whose outcome we have not yet seen!
At first, humans knew nothing. Even now, when the world has become vast and full of knowledge, humans still do not know many things. They still stand confused and astonished before doubt, uncertainty, the untouched and the unexperienced, and they want to reach knowledge; knowledge that removes doubt and brings certainty, so that they can touch it, turn that touch into experience, and then into a result.
These ideas make us stop before several truths:
Humans constantly need knowledge.
Knowledge leads us to truth, certainty and productivity.
To reach this knowledge, we must be questioning people.
Therefore, the human being, in the sense of knowledge, means questioning. The more questions you have, and the more the concerns of questioning keep you tired and occupied, the more you move toward knowledge.
Question:How many questions do you have? When do you ask questions? Why do you ask questions, and what is your goal?
Answer:Bring the answer from your heart to your tongue. Speak to yourself out loud. Do not be ashamed that there are some things you do not know, because there are also many things you do know. Therefore, you need to ask questions and become a new questioner. Until we become questioning human beings, we cannot become knowledgeable and informed human beings.
Finally:Religions came to answer a group of questions; questions about good and bad, knowledge and ignorance, right and left, and all the discussions between them.
Myths are tied to a group of questions. They tried to break the magic of early understandings and, in the end, created a convincing answer.
Philosophies are an exercise in pressing, examining and analyzing questions and creating an answer that produces a higher level of understanding.
Finally, science, by bringing together all the efforts that came before it in religion, myth and philosophy, becomes a tangible and tested answer. Therefore, unless a human being is engaged with science, they cannot become a person of answers.
We cannot become people of answers if, fundamentally, we are not people of questions.
Summary:The human being is a questioning being, while all other concepts wander, searching, confused and unsettled, in pursuit of answers!
