Learning
to Question
J.RENEA PHOTOGRAPHY
Information is an avalanche.
Technology experts tell us that ev-
ery two days we now create as much
information as we did from the dawn of
civilization up until 2003.
To be able to dig ourselves out of
this morass of words and images, in
order to find our way and to live our
12
lives, learning to ask questions becomes
an essential skill.
First we have to ask big questions
such as, “What is truly important
to know?”
These answers will be as varied as
there are people on this planet. All of
the answers will be right for each and
every person asking the questions and
hunting for the answers. Maybe not the
right answer for me. Maybe not for you.
What is vital is asking the questions.
And continuing to question. It is pos-
sible to build a life based on erroneous
information, so we need to keep on
questioning.
