I often answer for others without answering for myself...

Sure, some simple things like 1 and 1 is 2, don't eat that poison mushroom are good answers. Some answers like yes I packed your parachute dear, is also an answer, but maybe not a good one.

This very question is a sort of existential proof !
It is just that somebody happens to raise the question on our own behalf ! To me it appears like an expression of affection....
It is perhaps, the very deep understanding of this process of questioning of self, that might have persuaded the great thinker Socrates to use to 'enliven' his disciples.... a process of asking questions, a process used only by a very few, very capable masters !
And even if someone is prepared to just 'try out this '.... to experience the questioner as oneself, not others, irrespective of the result of question or answer, a possibility of greater significance opens up... to experience the one-ness !
Thanks! Yes, ... I was answering to myself all along !

Sure. The other day my sister asked if I knew where her keys were. I told her they were behind the couch. Turns out I was wrong but I think it was a great answer anyway.

Yes. we all live on earth similar experiences at the same time or at different times. so yes i think we can share realizations that allow someone Else to advance.

Of course, people answer questions from thier own point of view. Aren't people who ASK questions interested in someone elses point of view? Otherwise they would keep thier own counsel.

i have an answer for everything. it may not be the right answer. it may not be the answer to the question they are asking. however, it is an answer and in my generosity i will share it with everyone.

i do not think so. there are many things which i can not answer due to various factors like communicating gaps.
