Questions exist merely because we create them.

What kind of questions are we talking about!

questions exist

  • Is there any God? [ Philosophy ]
  • Why don’t I have all that I want? [ Introspection ]
  • Why can’t I live my life the way I want to! [ Denial of WHAT IS]
  • Why am I sad? [ Stress ]
  • Why things happen the way they do? [ An obvious contemplation]
  • ‘Do good, have good’ – is it really applicable? [ Speculation]
  • What is that? [ Curiosity ]

… and hundreds of thousands of questions that we have.

Questions are everything.

Ask better questions and do nothing more; answers will come automatically. By default, you will perceive answers in your own personal way. Questions exist merely because we create them. Do you think  you are choosing questions from a predefined set? If you do, you can be limiting your expansion ( career, personal relationships, social network etc). Some people can also think that they are choosing their questions from a random set.

Well, is this random set finite or infinite in size?

Theoretically, randomness will prevail in all sample points picked up from an infinite set. Only an infinite set can provide outcomes that are completely random. Now we have a funny situation here – even if a man says that he believes in the randomness of universe, he will consistently work to measure the size of infinite!

Everything that you give and take – from infinite ocean ?

If the questions are coming from an infinite ocean that seems to be endless, too vast to explore, you can safely assume that some action is affecting the choice that you make, out of infinite number of other possibilities. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in ’cause and effect’ theory. Everything that happens, happens become something else happened earlier. Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get - thats what Forrest Gump was told by his mom. I think she implied that ‘the box of chocolates’ is too big to be defined.

Why is it so important to talk about questions!

Well, everything that you know, feel excited or sad about.. has questions as the root cause! Whatever you learn, you learn by asking for it! When you were born, you like a blank CD..all clean! You don’t remember how you learnt the basic vocabulary, language structure and hundred other things. You asked question about what you saw, heard, tasted and observed around. Answers to these questions are what you accumulate as knowledge. Since the questions are infinite in number, perfect knowledge does not exist according to randomness theory. What does it say? “Perfect knowledge does not exist according to randomness theory” Thats why a randomness theorist believes that there is no God. Such a man can not prove to himself the existance of perfect abstract intelligence that would answer all the questions from the infinite.

You choose your own questions.

now what

Coming back to the actions, I would say that your actions are affecting the choice of your questions, which in turn affect your overall personality, smartness, mental stability, career growth, wellbeing and God knows what. You may not be pretty sure about the answers, but questions are only and only asked by you. You create your own questions, entertain yourself, feel exicted about few things, events, people around you and start exploring the universe. You feel frustrated when one of your own questions makes no sense to you…. These questions make up your life. And remember.. You create questions- that make you happy, sad, frustrated, angry, peaceful, tranquil.

Questions have an order.

Everything happening around is happening sequentially. One event follows the other. You can safely assume that daily life events that we see around us, have a fixed order. There is perfect order at atomic level. There is an order at astronomical level. There is an order in genes of all living beings. It may or may not imply that each and everything in our life has a particular order. There are no accidents in an ordered system. Everything is planned and advancing in a particular order. But wait, what about your thoughts? Every next thought that occurs to you, is  chosen from a set that appears completely chaotic. As long as this chaos haunts you, mastery is not possible. We see the existence of order at some levels and randomness at others. Order can be testified at micro to macro levels; randomness is and will always remain a belief that lacks support from expertise and knowledge of an individual. “When you believe something you don’t really believe” – is a devastating situation! Realists will really appreciate the fact that universe has its own order. Your questions, knowledge and thinking pattern is affected by your actions. Spiritual folks will say that absolute order can be realized. According to them, infiniteness can be realized.

Questions exist merely because we create them. Ask questions that are more important. Ask questions when you feel sad, frustrated and hurt.

    Questioning indeed has been an integral part of our evolution as beings possessing logic and rationale.Take technology , take philosophy or any other science- question,disapproval,dissatisfaction was at the helm of them all.This has influenced our history and paved the way for the future or the present we possess.

      • @Arun ~ :) Questions make us what we are today. Each one of us.

        @TG ~ Its great that you are pointing out a basic learning process you have been through. Necessity is directly dependent on the size of our knowledge (questions asked) More we know, more we need!
