A bunch of questions

Jayanta (JD)
Nov 2 · 2 min read

I and you, yes the reader you, often find ourselves asking questions.

Questions that give meaning to our existence and questions that dissuade us from the plan of action.

Questions lurking out from the middle of nowhere and questions grounded in contextual realities.

Questions that ignite us, excite us and questions that enlighten us;

Questions that blow us, immerse us and questions that frighten us.

Questions that consume us and limits our perspective;

Questions that liberate us and broadens our objective.

Questions that show us direction and questions that blind our creation.

Questions that make us pragmatic planners and questions that make us passionate dreamers.

Questions that are framed by the rational mind and questions that are raised by a radical feeling.

Questions that are intense and deep; and questions that are superficial and shallow.

Questions that mongers a war and questions that pacifies a mob.

Questions that are subjective and questions that are objective.

Questions that are open ended and explores a conversation;

Questions that are close ended and probes towards a dictation.

Questions that answers our question and questions that question our belief in a notion.

Questions that quench our thirst for reason and questions that ignite unexpressed emotions.

Questions that make us reflective and meditate within and questions that make us aggressive and project accusations outside.

These questions lead me and you, yes the reader you, to a crossroad with the choice of remaining dormant and accepting status quo; or the choice of being proactive and exploring an alternate view.

It is not the answer that matters to me, but the pursuit of the right question that does.

But what riddles me really is that — Is there ever a RIGHT question or just perspectives that matter?
