We all have questions, but it is the answers that matter most.
Situation 1:
Questions with no emotions attached to them just make us smarter. Usually, these questions are asked because we just don't know. The only effect it has on us is that it increases our knowledge. Thats about it.
Situation 2:
Emotions attached. Usually, these questions comes with hopeful answers. We need answers that we WANT. If its not what we hope it to be, depending on our individual characters, answers can makes us feel
1) Sad
2) Dissappointed
3) Regretful
4) Hurt
5) Stronger
6) Happier
Asking a question can be torturous. Some of us just lack the courage to ask. The question can be in you for an aching long time but we just cannot face the answer. Hopeful but Timid. These are the people who think alot about the consequences of their questions being asked. They fear how the question may reflect on how people see them. They fear how the situation can change their relationship with the person they're gonna ask. They fear they may lose what they currently have. I won't say these people are losers. Think about the pain they go through for not asking, the sleepless nights they go thru for not asking, the suppression of feelings for not asking, the lingering of the question in their minds for not asking, the depression they suffer for not asking. You are trying your very best to escape reality. Anticipation alone is enough to kill. Imagine the tolerance to all this shit. You may even lose yourself n be persistant just for an unanswered question. This, is never easy.
Example -
The question can be as simple as asking for the money that is rightfully yours . How many times have you felt uneasy whenever you ask for the money your fren borrowed from you some time ago? I'm sure many of you have came across that. I, myself have experienced that many times.
The Answer -
This is the essence to all. It means everything to you. It points the way for you to proceed in future. Of cos, needless to say, if its the answer that you have longed for, it will only make u Happy. If its not, it sucks big time. You may regret that you even asked. You were once hopeful but the answer can simply jus throw you to the lowest of the lowest.
It's like a boxing match. You are given a hard blow by your opponent with no sympathy. You become semi-conscious and you know you can't fight back at that point. To protect yourself, there will only be 2 reactions from you. You either swing your arms around so that your opponent cannot advance and knock you out, but you may hurt the innocent referee in the process OR you feign unconsciousness to save your pride cos you know theres no way you can win. So which are you?
I admire the people who actually participated for the match even though they are unsure. It's a big risk. As the saying goes "You never know Till you find out". Thats for those who look on the bright side. Some questions are best left unquestioned. So where do we go from here? Go for another match with a new opponent or never step into the ring ever again?
My unquestioned question has just been secretly answered. It's time for me to move on and SEEK for another worthy opponent. Care to join my journey of Seeking?
