A Question; of Life and Death

Questions, and more questions, we have so many. Should we ask? Should we not? Not easy to decide. Questions are good tools; to explore, to learn, or even to make a statement. They are friendly, trainable and fun to live with.

Answers seem to have this urge to show up quickly when they see questions. And questions die when they meet strong answers. Answers bring a sense of finality. Questions are like life. Look at them from different perspectives and they reveal something new. Ponder over them; let them grow and bloom into a million new possibilities. 

Questions know that answers are going to come at some time; just like life knows that death awaits.
So, when we find questions, should we rush and provide a quick strong answer or wait; for the right one? An answer will kill a question, a life with potential; so we should choose wisely.
A good question, nurtured and matured over time, concluded with a good answer is like a life well spent. Death comes at the end; it is a happy ending to a life of achievement. A quick strong answer is a merciless killer of a good question; a killer of a budding life of promise.

Answers may seem like they are more important than questions, But they cannot exist unless there are questions. Death cannot happen unless there is life. And so the cycle of question and answer continues.


So dear Question, will you stay with me till death do us apart?
