Qs & As (with thanks to Dorsey Baker work Questans)

We ask questions as a child
How often - we are given
Answers - that are questions
Arise - yet more questions
So we as we grow - our minds
Should - be seeking - the answers
To the questions - collected over
Our life's - and by the many - along the way

Life is just one long question, or as my mum used to say, "why has a long tale." 'Tis good to ask questions, but as you say, we should be seeking the answers, that's the hard part.

One further thought, Ken. To ask "why" is the noblest of of the mind's actions. So few ever ask just that question.

Well done Sir Iconoclast!

The circularity of growth. Questions be getting questions be getting questions. Looking for answers is like pealing an onion. When your finished there is nothing unless your search is for the layers. Ken, as usual you are focused and succinct in your quest and style!

I was asking this same question as to how I would answer my niece about Easter:
she is 7 years old and what would I answer her when she asks me about this holiday:
I thought, "I wouldn't know". So many things around this holiday that I could not give her a straight anser, but should I? I thought, I will just tell her that I dont know. And that would be true.
