What are the limitations of questioning?

Answer 1

the answers being found!

Answer 2

The questions which we form in our heads must be inspired or sparked by something. We cannot make questions about things we have never heard of, even if they exist. Human beings cannot form all questions that can possibly be made in the world at a given time, or any time.

The limits of questioning are the same as the limits of human knowledge.

Answer 3

After some 35 years of teaching and before that as a student, I think at least, two of the limitations of questioning are concerned with, one, the logic behind each question which needs to be related to the course of study or the issue in question since any illogical question is absurd and a waste of time. Two, an appropriate polite manner of questioning is also a sign of educated, civilized askers, in other words, questions with humbleness is always appreciated in general.

Answer 4

The limit of the mind

Answer 5

When you don't get an answer that works for you after repeated questioning, it is time to let it go--give it to your Higher Power, Great Spirit, God (it's all the same Thing). Stop questioning, but pay attention to what happens in your life. A song lyric, a magazine article, a chance encounter, SOMETHING will provide the answer.

Answer 6

Many people will tell you not to question God or his state of being. The Bible states to seek and you shall find. A person seeks by questioning, reading, and constantly learning.

I feel that there are no limits to questioning something.
BUT there ARE guidelines within polite society that need to be adhered to when questioning SOMEBODY.

Answer 7

You only get to find out what the person wants you to know, they can add or take anything away and twist the answer to their advantage. Also there is always a little bit of the personality added to the answer, therefore, do we actually ever get the correct answer to our question!!! Now that you have questioned all of us what will you interpret from the answers?

Answer 8

Usually when asking a question or when hearing an answer to one's question, one has formed some opinion of the subject matter. And when one is too set in one's thinking, and keeps a line of questioning to support one's theory, there is a danger that one may very well be "begging the question".

Answer 9

I wonder if it is possible to ask a Question without knowing the possible answers or expected format of answers?
If this is true, you can't ask a question , unless you have some clue as to the answer?
I imagine this is a limitation of questioning.

Answer 10

Depends on how much you want to know.

I've found there's no limit to questioning, but there *is* a limit to the patience of the people you question.

Answer 11

Questions are asked to contain within their measure only as much as they are made to hold. All questions aim to narrow down searches to very specific inquiries into knowledge. On the contrary when we do not ask questions our mind can see all like the light of a candle that is everywhere, but the light that surrounds the flame of a candle is aimless. When we ask a question we tend to look for just one thing, and even when answers we find are numerous, the search for the best answer still continues. The search for the best in everything actually never ends. The things we find best now will soon be replaced by the thoughts of things even better in our opinions. In this sense no question is the ultimate question, and every question leads up to the yet another question with only one thing in view as the ultimate in our pursuit – the search for the ultimate in being, the search for the ultimate truth.

The limitations of questioning are in the essential act of knowing, as there are things that cannot be known but realised only through believing. Only the facts about truth, or absolute reality of things, can be known through knowledge, and not the absolute itself. The entire body of our of knowledge is based upon the information about things knowable, definable and observable, but the absolute, that we seek in the inner recesses of our mind can neither be fully known, or defined through words.

To know something absolutely well is to become that thing, whereas asking places the mind already at a distance from the object of inquiry, at a place of observation detached from the things being observed. How can I know for example, what my house is like in its entirety if I never step outside it to take an over all view, along side an experience of living inside? In order to know love one has to be in love.

We have often observed that the intensity of every human emotion can go beyond description of worlds, and then there are intellectual abilities and capabilities of human mind that can call for experiences beyond the realm of knowledge. We think and wonder about things in life and things beyond life. The reaches of our mind are farther than what it can grasp in knowledge. The questions about the deeper meaningfulness of life for example are point less and futile to ask. A life can only be known by actual living, and not by asking what is life?

We try to know things with knowledge because this ensures us about our own distinctness, and therefore saves us form the risk of knowing ourselves as just about anything else. But the reality is that our knowledge will never be complete, for what is complete is not knowledge of anything but the reality of a thing. Knowledge in fact is an abstraction, or a medium, between our own reality and us. In knowledge, or in the act of knowing, it is possible that we are aiming at the right thing, upon the light, but by asking questions we walk only through shadows of the actual object of our search.
