Question About Questioning (Central Austin)
Details
We often try to get more information/insight/understanding by asking questions. Especially with access to the internet, many of these questions get answered. Satisfied, we move on to other things. However, a small percentage of questions leave us wanting more:
- The answer seems possible but not understandable
- The answer just leads to more questions, often down a rabbit hole
- The answer is incomplete but it’s not clear what or who else to ask
These situations may lead us to ask questions like the following:
- Is the question is too hard for us to understand the answer?
- Does the question have no answer?
- Was the correct question asked? How do we know?
- Must the question to be asked by the right person?
Is there a person capable of answering that question?
Sometimes getting an answer is not SO important and we let it go for the time being. Other times there is a need to get an answer. Where does this need come from?
- Is the consequence of not having an answer going to have catastrophic affect on our lives?
- Is our ego just unsettled with our inadequacies?
- Do we have an emotional attachment to a particular answer that is not forthcoming? Do emotions prevent us or help us to finding the answer?
- Do we only seek answers to questions we approve? Do we have reservations for questions that we can find answers to?
