Question: Have we to ask questions we dont know thier answers!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have a quote about this question that I was very impressed by:

"[Some questions] aren’t questions you necessarily need to answer outright; they are questions to which you need to respond, expose yourself, and kneel before!. You don’t want an answer you can put in a box and set on a shelf!. You want a question that will become a chariot to carry you across the breadth of your life, a question that will offer you a lifetime of pondering, that will lead you toward what you need to know for your integrity, draw to you what you need for your journey, and help you understand what it means to burst at the seams!." Gregg Levoy, "Callings" (7)!.

The obvious answer to your question is, if we knew their answers, we wouldn't need to ask the questions!. But perhaps you are thinking of questions we ask, even though we can never know the answers!. Levoy's answer to that question is one of the most profound I've ever seen!. Essentially, it suggests that even though we can never know the answers to many questions we ask, the process of asking them, of searching for the answers, of worrying over them and getting frustrated with them and giving up on them and coming back to them again--all of this experience gives us something important!. It helps us to understand life, ourselves, each other, whatever!. Bet we keep on asking, because we get something out of it!.

I hope you do :-)
