J-M, this is a wonderful post but no comments? Let me be the first. Questioning is the essence of being human. The Canadian philosopher/theologian Bernard Lonergan wrote that if a dog has nothing to do, the dog goes to sleep; if a person has nothing to do, that person asks questions. And Irenaeus noted that the glory of God was a person fully alive, which included doing nothing so as to make room for questions. Also, Richard Feynman come to mind, ‘I’d rather have a question I couldn’t answer than an answer I couldn’t question.”
