Questions

I wish I could say that this had been just an ordinary day, but I would have been kidding myself.  I heard one of the most interesting sets of ideas this morning.  This set of ideas belongs to Michael Wesch, a leader in the research field of Social Media.  He made and shared the connection between the word "quest" and "question".  And it's true, to answer a good, solid question, you need to go on a quest.  Questions challenge you on a deep level, and could potentially contradict, re-iterate, or completely annihilate your current standing on any issue.  Unfortunately, The more you learn, the more you want to learn, which in turn leads you to learn more, so you want to learn more etc. So you never finish learning, your quest for answers never finishes, you never find your "Holy Grail" so to speak.  But, it didn't stop King Arthur, and it shouldn't stop you.  But unlike King Arthur, you should be willing to accept the fact that there might not be a Holy Grail, or the Holy Grail is a chair instead.  Don't get too attached to your ideas, it will only make you a dumber person, you may feel smarter, but the reality is you're not.  So ask questions!
