When do you stop asking questions??

Remember?, the old saying, that goes..doubt is a sign of intelligence..rather, question is a sign of intelligence.. it gauges how deep one is thinking. how well someone is in the context. how much someone is dedicated.. oh my god!! So many conclusions based on an act. An act, may be people do just because they know that these conclusions are derived , may be they act because they "have to".

But, seriously thinking, when do we stop asking questions? ( I feel) we stop asking questions in the following four scenarios.

1. When we know the answers

2. When we do not believe in the answers or the source of the answers

3. When we stop thinking or are oblivious to the surroundings.

4. When you don't know what to ask

All these four are lethal. Lethal to our consciousness and existence (mental).

what does it mean?

1. When we know the answers....

It means that you no more belong to that place. It means that you are over-evolved compared to the context, that you are aware that there is inertia around. It warns you of stagnation. It s advising you to move on.. move on or perish..move on or get stuck in the muddle. This is the stage where you feel that all the tasks you are doing are mundane, yet you "must" feel important. You look out for facts that boost your morale (the saddest part of all).

2. When we do not believe in the answers or the source of the answers

In short, you lost confidence in the source or person who is answering the questions. This is best of the scenarios because atleast you have questions. If not this source or person you will search for the answers somewhere. Atleast you are alive and thinking. Atleast something intrigues you and puts your gray cells to work. What more does a thinking machine (human) wants.

3. When we stop thinking or are oblivious to the surroundings.

So, you are, in short, brain-dead. This is when you are frozen.. you are lazy, you subconsciously established a comfort zone and you don't wanna move out of that. You are contended, at least act that you are contended. This is fatal to your growth.

4. When you don't know what to ask

If someone faces this scenario, it means that he or she being there is an act of randomness. Somehow, some life's decisions which are random , made you to be there. Also, this scenario in combination of the above is deadly. One that you are here due to sheer chance and secondly you are so comfortable that you are brain-dead.

As it goes without saying, I am just thinking aloud...please feel free drop your comments.
