"Question"

The ability of asking questions is a part of our humanity. True, it does help us survive in this world, but it also enables us to wonder about the deeper side of life. 

I have painted question in a form of a bright shape on a dark bacground. Now, some might say that it should be the other way round, since questions come from the lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom perhaps. But for me asking questions IS wisdom and I like to remind myself from time to time the well-known Socratic paradox: "I know that I know nothing".

See you next time. Have a great week!

  5. Very cool - I am one of those that ask questions, because I want to know.....or I research for answers. "I know that I like this" :)

  6. Good thought and a great painting to go with it. Seems like the older I get the less I know too. My Dad promised me that would happen someday and he was right. Hugs
