“Every answer to any question generates new questions، And it is a series that no one could find its end point , And questions are the engine of discovery , Which is why I say, to the point of all the answers, we will cease to exist , Absolute knowledge means the disappearance of the reason for existence , Because we can control many of the thoughts and feelings inside us, Except for the instinct to wonder , Our questions haunt us when they make us feel our weaknesses and the limits of our knowledge, but at the same time they always push us to move forward. In order to finally get to a point ، And it is the horizons ، Far horizons are the furthest point a human can reach.”
