Questioning Mind Quotes

“Yes, Kālāmas, it is proper that your have doubt, that you have perplexity, for a doubt has arisen in a matter which is doubtful. Now, look you Kālāmas, do not be led by reports, or traditions, or hearsay. Be not led by the authority of religious texts, not by the delight in speculative opinions, nor by seeming possibilities, not by the idea: 'this is our teacher'. But, O Kālāmas, when you know for yourself that certain things are unwholesome, and wrong, and bad, then give them up... And when you know for yourself that certain things are wholesome and good, then accept them and follow them.”

“I follow and cultivate my own curiosity. I think curiosity is one of the top two or three human characteristics. It's something that I really like about myself. [...] I want to understand stuff!

You're never going to feel bad about your whole life if you loved people and you were curious. I mean, that's kind of all I want!”

“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.”
