Even Offbeat Questions Have Value

Why don’t some people ask questions?
Why do they seem to lack curiosity?
It’s often because they haven’t spent time learning.
If you don’t know anything, you don’t know what to ask.
Questions come from the space between what you know
and what you want to understand.
Curiosity works the same way.
If someone never reads a book or glances at a newspaper,
curiosity doesn’t have room to grow.
Of course, not all questions are created equal.
Some questions, born from ignorance, can make others uncomfortable.
But sometimes, a quirky or unexpected question
can lighten the mood and bring people together.
A thoughtful question, a playful question,
a question sparked by genuine curiosity—
these can bridge the gap between people.
They open the door to conversation.
They help the world move forward.
