It’s good to ask questions, especially when those questions are being asked to somebody or something that can provide a practical and comprehensive answer to such. After all, we need to ask questions, or else take the time to do the research ourselves in order to learn vital things, and when we fail to do so, we thus lose ground in our knowledge, for knowledge is never finite or ever complete. In other words, even when we are done with our formal schooling, it is sensible to continue our learning, rather than to become intellectually lazy, or to rest on our laurels, for life is ever changing, and we should desire to do our best to keep up with what is so happening in and around us.
As it has been said, an unexamined life is a life which has been lived poorly, for when we fail to desire to question the why of our very existence, it would seem that we have somehow misplaced what our priorities should really be focused upon. For a certainty, it is problematic for us to find our best destiny, if we have not done our good part to figure out what we should be concentrating our mind upon, and thereby diligently working at, in order then to get to the best place for our life, and therefore have lived then our life well.
So too, it is important that the goals that we are fixated upon, are worthy of our spending our time and resources upon – for even when we put forth a heroic effort in order to achieve something, that effort may all be for naught, if what we have gone after, doesn’t in the scheme of things, represent something of real merit or worth. This is why we need to understand, that simply going with the flow, is almost never going to be a life lived well, for that which is dead, by its very nature, must go with the flow – and therefore only those that are alive, can per their discernment, go against the flow, when such seems to be the most appropriate course of action to take.
Additionally, as much as we might want to believe that we are intelligent and knowledgeable, none of us knows everything, and all of us can therefore learn from someone or something else, who has clearly demonstrated the type of sound wisdom, that we can thus draw upon, if only we would seek for such. That is why it is so vital for each of us, to ask the questions that are pinging upon our conscience, along with making sure that the questions so being asked, are being directed to the right entity. For then, it has to be said, that not everyone or everything is going to be beneficial in our search, which is why we must always keep foremost in our mind, that eternal vigilance is our responsibility, for we are the very ones that care most that what we so seek upon is true.
Remember this well, it is never too late or too early, for that matter, to figure out what we are so seeking, and when after careful contemplation we know what it is, our obligation then is to be faithful to that quest, come what may.
