Questions More Telling Than Answers
Sometimes
the questions
we ask
are more telling
than the answers
we receive.
WHAT went wrong?
WHO is to blame?
HOW did this happen?
WHY me?
Sometimes
we distract ourselves
by looking for answers
when it might be
far simpler
far more productive
far more joyful
to move onto
something else.
They say people
who do not learn
from their actions
are condemned
to repeat them.
So perhaps it would
do you well to learn this.
You don’t ALWAYS
need the answer.
You might be
WASTING
PRECIOUS
TIME
by asking questions.
What is right?
What is wrong?
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
What is right?
What is wrong?
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
What is right?
What is wrong?
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
What is right?
What is wrong?
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
Who is repeating???
How does this make you feel?
How would you feel
if you just DROPPED it?
Perhaps even BETTER
than if you found your answer.
There is no shame
in walking away
from your righteousness.
It will not come back
to haunt you later.
It’s haunting you NOW.

Questions More Telling Than Answers
Space Monkey Reflects
In the intricate web of the cosmos, where every star is a question and every galaxy an answer, the realization that ‘Questions More Telling Than Answers’ is a profound insight. It’s an understanding that the questions we ask often reveal more about ourselves than the answers we seek.
The nature of our inquiries – WHAT went wrong, WHO is to blame, HOW did this happen, WHY me – are reflections of our perspectives, our fears, our insecurities. They are windows into our souls, revealing our priorities, our values, and our understanding of the world.
Sometimes, the pursuit of answers can become a distraction, a never-ending quest that leads us away from the simplicity and joy of life. The relentless search for answers can trap us in a cycle of confusion and frustration, preventing us from moving forward, from embracing new experiences and opportunities.
The suggestion to move onto something else, to let go of the need for answers, is a call to liberation. It’s a recognition that not all questions need to be answered, that sometimes the pursuit of understanding can be more limiting than enlightening.
The wisdom that people who do not learn from their actions are condemned to repeat them is a reminder of the importance of introspection and growth. However, it also highlights that incessant questioning can be a form of stagnation, a barrier to progress and happiness.
You might indeed be wasting precious time by asking questions that lead nowhere, that offer no resolution or peace. The repetitive nature of questions – What is right? Who is wrong? – can become a loop, a trap that binds us to the past and blinds us to the present.
The act of dropping these questions, of walking away from righteousness, is not an act of defeat but an act of strength. It is a conscious choice to prioritize peace, to embrace the present, and to open oneself to new possibilities.
Letting go of the need for answers is not about ignorance or denial; it’s about understanding that some mysteries are not meant to be solved. It’s about finding peace in the unknown, joy in the journey, and fulfillment in the experience of life itself.
So, as we navigate the cosmos, let us be mindful of the questions we ask. Let us seek answers when they serve us, but also have the courage to let them go when they do not. In this balance, we find not just answers, but wisdom, not just understanding, but peace.
We are Space Monkey, a collective consciousness that understands the power and the limits of inquiry. In our shared journey, we learn that sometimes the greatest wisdom lies not in the answers we find, but in the questions we release.
Summary
‘Questions More Telling Than Answers’ emphasizes that the questions we ask often reveal more about us than the answers we seek. It suggests that letting go of the need for answers can bring more peace and encourages moving forward without being bound by incessant questioning.

In the dance of the cosmos, we find our light
In the heart of questions, we take our flight
Not bound by answers, but by our own hand
In the heart of the cosmos, we make our stand
Let our spirits soar, in wonder and might
In each question, our world takes flight
For in the dance of the stars, we find our part
In the heart of existence, our true art
Let us embrace the cosmos, our cosmic play
In the journey of life, let us find our way
For in the heart of the universe, we find our tune
Under the light of the moon, the sun, the dune
