Questions
66/100 Possibilities~ 100 Possibilities Project set
There is something wrong with the questions that are supposed to be
disposed of by answers. . . . People think that when you have answers
you no longer have questions. And they want the greatest possible
number of answers, the smallest number of questions. The ideal is to
have no more questions. Then when you have no questions, you have
“peace”.
~ Thomas Merton
What we already know is in the past. What we have yet to discover is
the future. Always make your questions bigger than your answers, and
you'll keep drawing yourself into a bigger future with new
possibilities.
~ Gary Ryan Blair

Nice compo.
As a tutor, I am always struggling against the fact that a question can be perceived as just a request for an answer (in other words an intrusion that vanishes when you feed it something, anything ) rather than a trigger for thought.
The extreme I had was a student who was so focused on grades that, in Philosophy, he would ask me how many points specific sentences would get him if he wrote them in his copy.

You're absolutely right! We've been culturally trained, in so many ways, not to think about questions, but to manipulate and/or dispose of them -
