The Question

The most ignored questions are most often the ones that require our most attention. I'm talking about from a point of view of the common, everyday human being.

Asking these questions, or reviewing them and trying to conceive of an answer, places our consciousness on a road to a destination that, although we might never get to, will inevitably make us cherish more this moment and each other, and lead to decisions and actions reflecting just that.

Our day-to-day routines, habits, and cultures are distracting us, distancing our minds from noticing this ever-present questions. These questions are right here right now right in front of our eyes, constantly challenging us, like an itch, an unconscious unresolved fear or doubt that won't go away no matter how much we try to distract ourselves.

The fact that we have a mind that can ask these questions, or The Question, might just be what has separated us from the answer. Our burden is that we need to get back to the question and forever contemplate it, forever ask it. But asking it can at least allow us to find a path that redeems ourselves and lets us find a certain amount of release, peace, happiness, harmony, with ourselves and each other.
