Question

Then came the question....

Everyone is full of them, but most importantly, no one knows whether it is the right one or not.
After a relatively short day in office, writing a blog feels good.

Each statement comes with a variety of questions, ranging from who what when etc etc....
I do not know which one is right and which one is wrong. Some may argue questions can not be wrong, as they do not state anything, rather seek to know more. The very motive of knowing more is questionable, though.

Imagine a world where everyone knows everything. There will be no questions. As people grow old, they start becoming uncomfortable with questions. Questions about their past make them uncomfortable, their present, and most importantly questions about their future make them most uncomfortable.

Ask a child "what do you want?" and you will get a list that can easily fill up a foolscap paper.
By the way I just found out that the word is "foolscap" and not "fullscape". It has been almost a decade since I have used the term. Amazing how writing brings back old memories. Anyway, I was writing about questions, and will finish writing about questions. Distractions like paper nomenclature should not come in between.

So just as I was climbing the stairs to my one room apartment on top of the roof of a two story building, I asked myself a question "Does life have to be so boring?" My heart screamed - "NO! IT CANT BE". But my brain started analysing, and after some milliseconds, the answer was there - "WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO TO YOU, EVEN IF YOU KNOW?"

Brainy people do not have this problem, as their hearts do not scream. Once upon a time in India, I used to believe I was a brainy person. Not anymore, My heart is too used to scream and shout and laugh at all the stupid questions I put forward.

People keep saying, follow your heart! Now I know the reason, it is because people respond quicker to shouts and screams, and loud noise, etc than to plain thinking and reason.

A lot has been said and done and written about brain and people and heart and all the stuff like that. Also, there are no answers. The answer to any question has to be a statement or another question. Statement cannot be answer, because it arises so many more questions, and the loop continues.
