Asking questions,
even when inappropriate, especially when inappropriate is necessary. It really
is. Yeah people will get upset over the stupid questions you have or get more
angry when you just keep asking when there shouldnt be. Questions are the lifeblood
of knowledge. Questions bring us closer to power, and in some cases closer to
god. Whether it be metaphorically or physically its still important. If we
didn't stop to ask questions randomly in the past we wouldnt know how the world
operates. “Should i pee on this electric fence?” Do it! Find out! “Should i
write about something entirely unheard of or unrelated to the topic at hand”
Sure lets do that see where it goes. Could lead to a burst of literary genius
or an absolute mess of ideas on a page. Even with a mess of ideas on a page we
can take points off of them and expand, create something new. The world is
built upon the ideas of morons in the past that turned out to be absolute
geniuses. If we never asked stupid questions we’d still think the earth was
flat and that the universe revolved around us. We wouldnt know right from
wrong, we would just be following the first instincts that come to our stupid
little heads. So no, nobody is dumb for asking questions, you can only be
ignorant if you dont ask questions. Challenge the world, challenge god,
challenge the universe with your words. Look to your superiors and ask “why
does the world do what it does? Why cant i order delivery from a subway thats
closed at 3 am, im still fucking hungry” At the end of the day the worst thing
that can happen is that you get an answer. Whether you wanted it or not.
