“The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything. The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.” Milan Kundera (italics added)

While questions are powerful, and the right question at the right time can actually unleash potentials and enable them to become actual in a person’s life, yet not all questions are useful, effective, or life-supporting. This is especially true of questions that are vaguely phrased and/or questions with vague terms. Such questions in them can actually either encourage limitations or create limitation.
