Questions are keys to Knowledge and Insight

At times we get a feeling that for a given project or a course in college we put in a lot of work to learn something and it was wasted - since it did not get used. No knowledge gained is ever a waste.

Knowledge and insight are fruits of interest generated by questions within us. Question arising within us is the key to knowledge. Questions generate a pursuit for answers and this pursuit generates insights and knowledge (even if the answers were not meaningful or not used).

Losses (my favorite topic!) can generate "impossible" questions that demand a very strong pursuit for answers. This pursuits often generate deep insights, knowledge and wisdom. Loss is a forcing function - it may not be essential, but it helps!

Similarly, any effort may not bear a desired fruit, but effort never goes wasted. The consequence of an effort often crystallizes in some reward in a totally different context.

It is all a part of the Reality.
