Our questions are not our questions, but the questions the world has imposed on us. In fact, we learn questions, acquire them, they come from outside, and over the years we’ve gradually started to believe that they are our own.


“What do you want to be?,” “What are you going to do later?,” “What are your projects, your goals?,” “What is the meaning of life?,” have been asked us so often that they have become a continuous echo in our mind.
Of course it’s true that there are also other kinds of questions, such as “What time is it?,” “How to fix the car?,” or “How to get to Paris?,” yet those can be answered easily, functionally, technically.
But ethical, psychological, or philosophical questions belong to another realm. When we try to answer those “functionally,” we will always fail. The intellectual tools we’ve acquired and use to answer questions about life are not the adequate ones. And as a result, finally, the answers given are never really satisfactory, and with that — the questions remain.
Questions about life and living are not our own questions. They are questions forced on us through our cultural and educational mold, which is the collection, accumulation and result of all that has been known, asked, and answered throughout the history of mankind.


When we understand deeply that all questions come from outside, and then look “inside,” listen inside, we might come to see that no questions arise. And where no questions arise, no answers are needed.
Inside us exists a kind of void. A blank screen. Nothing there than a clear, transparent lake of unknown depths reflecting its surroundings, life — reflecting seamlessly the reality of things, giving real answers already implied in that reality.
Reality, the real, that what exists truly, unveiled from all we’ve imposed on it, is in itself, by itself, and through itself an adequate answer. A beautiful answer of life living effortlessly.
Truly, no questions are needed, but when questions still arise, not from inside but from outside, the perfect answer is always given.
