Questions and Answers

We know there are more questions than answers, yet we
content ourselves with the limited answers served to us.

The same answer for all those unexplored questions. Answers
acting as labels for all which don't quite fit our forced
blueprints.

The same answers used to satisfy our disquiet. Our psyche,
at war with itself, in a quandary cause by accepting what
barely seems credible. The unconscious fighting for better
answers, than those which occupy our conscious minds.

These limited answers satisfy a belief in our purposeful
misconceptions. Non-answers only equal to our confounded
states. Non-answers as the source of our confounded states.
Answers adapted from the illusions we sell ourselves.

We will know it when we see it, or so we believe. Having
accepted the answer, we now look to find its mate, all
those unasked questions converging on the few answers we
allow ourselves.

Answers are not the answer to your question. What is questioned and why,
what is answered with what, are part of the human process. If this is all
very dark and mistaken, so be it, but this is what Q's&A's are.

How does the question, 'when is the next train?' and the answer '9:15'
make 'us' mad fools? If this train does arrive at 9:15, there is truth
(healing truth?), as per a common definition.

So maybe this is more about certain types of questions. Some but not all.
If so, the topic really isn't about questions but about types, or certain
classifications of questions.

What would those be?

OK, so you are referring to social or cultural indoctrination or
conditioning?
