The Trouble with “Yes” or “No”

Asking better questions to life? For what? Simple questions are enough. Nothing complex. Just a few words without much explanation and there you go: here come the answers! Exact, clear, sparing us from thinking so much, analyzing so much, deciding so little or deciding wrong. Life would have a different script and would be much more practical.

Asking the right questions? Maybe we don’t know exactly how to ask them. We just want answers. Those very objective ones, like yes or no without context, without considering our vain philosophies that like to manifest themselves and propose more confusion in the face of a simple question.

Stay or go? Accept or refuse? Face it or give up? Do it or not? And how subjective the questions are, aren’t they? It’s all so personal. So mine and so yours. Don’t tell me that your answers have always been correct. Because mine are so prone to error. They often come with other questions. And living in a state of doubt hurts.

It seems funny how life asks questions, how people ask how we ask ourselves. We want to know, we need to know, we should know. I want this uncomplicated life. I want single answers. It would be nice if regardless of the decisions I made, life didn’t take anything from me, just let me enjoy what was decided.

And when the answer is for yesterday and for someone else, like the tarot, the crystal ball, or prayers sometimes don’t respond so quickly? We become so passive. We’re still so weak in the power of decision. Common sense determines and the and the heart hesitates.

Questions are an invitation to hurry. And we seek answers looking at the sky, at things, in books, in someone’s eyes, or at nothing. It may not come, or it comes between the lines, and in addition brings fear, the fear of not being understood.

Oh, how nice it would be to have Einstein’s understanding when he said: “Why think if around me there is a world of answers?” Oh, Mr. Einstein, it’s not quite like that. We find answers to others’ doubts, to ours, sometimes not paying much attention to the inner voice. There are moments when this voice is so silent that it seems not to be there to say anything.

We have the need for here and now. And how many times are we reminded that we have to wait for time to understand why our answers are right or wrong. Sometimes it answers. Others, we need new questions and other lives to realize what this delay wanted to tell us.
