Asking Questions

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."  Matthew 7:7-8

All great minds ask Questions. It has been said that Leonardo da Vinci asked questions and it is through his questions he received insights in to his inventions. 

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." Chinese Proverb

Long ago I had a teacher say.  "If you don't want to get confused don't ask questions."   There is some truth in that statement in so much if you ask 20 people the same question you will get 20 answers, likely all different.

"Whenever, therefore, people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth."  Socrates

The questions I speak of are the questions to ask oneself.   Where is the best location for me?   What do do about ......?  How do I make .... ?  You fill in the blanks.  

If you want peace in the world,  what question would you ask?   "How do I help stop all the war in the world?" or you could ask "How Do I fill the world with Peace?"

The question "how do I stop all the war in the world?"  will show you all the war in the world and show you all the causes you could be part of.  The question "how do I fill the world with peace ?",  the anwer will show you all the ways to peace.   I have no opinion on which way people choose as both have their place.   The important thing is to ask the questions that are right for you.
