Start asking other questions
It may sound preposterous, but if we really want a change within us and around us in the world, we have to start posing other questions.
Yes, different, – at times – uncomfortable questions, questioning our own conduct, and others´ way of considering us.
Many times I feel insecure, as I formulate really bearing questions, which are most of the times ignored. I am tempted to think that “ok, there was no further meaning with my questions”, but then I happen to bump into a quote – as I did the other day with Albert Camus – which actually confirms that no!!… my questions were not superfluous, on the contrary, they were meaningful and life-giving.
It is so rare indeed, to meet clear-minded, attentive people, who are not shying to be there, to listen carefully, and give a proper sensible answer.
Usually we treat the good as we treat the bad… – with the same disinterest and indifference. We don´t immerse in anything really, we rush to the next chapter, – whatever that would be – not having a clue to where we are in the story, not knowing even what the actual story is.
We are so crazy so we don´t even want to know about anything any longer. If this is not the worse kind of neurosis, I don´t know what is…
The bad news is this:
WE ARE AFRAID TO POSE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE ANSWERS. But we fake we don´t know them.
It is a crazy hide and seek game: I shun to ask questions in order not to be too overwhelmed by the answers I already have…This is either sheer stupidity or pure madness – or both…
I really wonder about how mentally healthy the average man is these days.
It appears that the lunatics pretend – and even believe in due time – to have all the answers, in order to avoid any uncomfortable questions that could undermine their perception.
Consequently, in order to show a saner version of this world, we have to be like kids again, start bombarding everybody with existential questions, not giving in before we get a real answer.

About julienmatei
I feel un inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefere to see only "the offcial " truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or...we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blogg is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation...finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness..
Today I was a kid. I acted lik a kid, played in an amusement park like a kid, and enjoyed the experience of no self consciousness. Sometimes, I feel shame, but that shame will not stop me from asking the questions I need to. That is just my old ego coming up telling me I am not worthy enough to ask the questions I need to ask.
