Until When Will I Be Questioning

Here I speak about our natural ability and tendency to question everything, to constantly search for answers, and to persist in doubting. I also remind us of the importance to balance things out with one simple thing.

My name is Sangeet,

And today I want to share something with you.

Sometimes,

If not all the time,

We have questions.

We have many questions,

And we want answers.

We want all the answers.

And sometimes,

Life happens in such a way that it doesn't allow us to see or to have access to the answers,

Or it confuses us with the answers that it gives us.

Also,

Sometimes,

We finally get the answers,

The ones that we thought we would never get,

Only to come up with more and more questions.

Will this game ever come to an end?

Maybe,

Maybe not.

We seem to be creatures of questions and answers,

Constantly finding reasons to doubt or to just search for more,

Constantly wanting to open all the boxes of knowledge,

Of wisdom,

Of resolutions and conclusions,

As if we wanted to escape from some kind of trap,

Of mysterious trap that we call life.

And yes,

Life can be so mysterious to us that we may see it as tricky,

But in between all of those questions that we keep on questioning and that we may be forever questioning,

There is still space to feel and to see that life is actually beautiful and magical.

Life itself is serene and calm,

As a soft feather that gently touches our skin.

Is this hard to believe?

Maybe,

Mostly due to the amount of unanswered questions that we all have.

So today,

Most certainly,

We will be questioning,

And most certainly,

We will feel trapped.

Yet today,

In the middle of all that,

Let's leave space to see through.

Let's leave space to feel life without its traps,

Without its mystery.

Let's leave a space where we can be silent,

With nothing to question or to answer about,

With no certainty and with no doubt.
