The Real Questions Are The Ones That Obtrude Upon Your Consciousness Whether You Like It Or No

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

The real questions are the ones that obtrude upon your consciousness
whether you like it or not, the ones that make your mind start vibrating
like a jackhammer, the ones that you "come to terms with" only to
discover that they are still there. The real questions refuse to
be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems
most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked
most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal
their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will.
