Q is for Questions

Some people like answers.  I have always liked questions, and have always had more questions than answers. These are some of my standard queries: Why? Why not?  How? When? Where? If not then, why not?  Will you?  Why not?

I particularly enjoy following a question with another one. This is not an evasion, but a further investigation of the question.  And answers always lead to more questions.

My favorite questions come from Rabbi Hillel: 

If I am not for myself, who am I?
I I am not for others, what am I?
If not now, when?

When, indeed?  Do you have any answers? Or perhaps, any questions?

Why? Why not?

  1. I love that quote from Rabbi Hillel too. I've seen it many places.
