Bhavesh... I’m sure culture has something to do with the way we handle, appreciate questions. But at the end of the day, I suspect it has more to do with maturity (some might say antiquity) than culture. In West Africa, the Elders’ job is to ponder the question. And more often than not, their “answer” is another question. Buddhism, in various forms seems to find real meaning in “sitting” the question. Old and/or mature folks seem to do it “best.” Or something.

Your question triggered a different kind of questionING in me. Personally I find questions/inquiry and Rilke's 'Live the questions now' approach very useful. However my increasing sensitivity to culture makes me wonder whether this approach works for everybody, or whether it is a cultural thing, fitting more an inquiring Western culture? Sometimes do we overemphasise this approach, use it in a kind of universal way? I have my own answers/experiences to the above questions but of course won't share them because you asked for questions! Smiles Bhav... p.s. Harold, we met at the WOSonOS in London and talked a bit about complexity and Cynefin...

Instead of sharing New Years Resolutions (which never seemed to have worked for me), would you share your New Years Questions? In other words, what are the most alive and juicy questions and inquiries you might ask the Universe in 2016? As a part of this invitation, I'm specifically *not* asking for answers, nor would it be appropriate for me or others to answer any of these questions in this thread. If you want to ask a question and get an answer - feel free to start another thread. "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." - Voltaire Thanks!
