RE: Why is curiosity important? The Importance of Developing Curiosity
I feel like the importance of questions is equal to importance of our willingness to detach from the answer. The truth I've found is that our answers and questions all change over time and the feeling of anxiety or fear that comes from not knowing the answers is really just based on our own expectations and assumptions about the questions themselves. Letting go of the need to be in control and just going with the flow has removed stress from my life for the most part. None of us are perfect, but I think that after enough conscious effort to change it becomes unconscious and then we detach from expectations and control much easier.
Why does life need a meaning? Why does the universe need a purpose?
Questions demanding reason and purpose are assuming that a reason or purpose must exist.
That's like asking why the sky is green. The question is first making a statement (the sky is green) and then asking why it is so.
If the statement is false, the question is meaningless.
