Your questions always stretch my mind.
They say, deep inside, we all know the answers...but sometimes we are in denial or simply aren't aware...that the answers we seek, are the answers we perhaps already know.
Also, sometimes only time reveals the answers. If I ask if person x will return to me, I really don't know the answer as of now. Sure, time will tell, but I also know I have to put a little effort in that direction as well, to make it happen. Or bring it closer to making it happen. Having the right intentions....attracting what we want.
And then, we see what we want to see, even if that might really not be the real answer to what we are seeking. But because we are so eager, we make things appear where there is none.
I am probably confusing others with my different lines of thought :-).
An answer is as valid as our minds want to make it valid....to us...I guess.

I dont but maybe Im just not paying close enough attention? Jeezus, Ive asked wheres the best place for me to go to find a job??? Sent out numerous resumes, applications, and waited far and near for an actual job in the makeup artistry field but havent heard anything back yet and that counts for anything positive or anything at all. What the hell??? I moved 2300 miles to graduate makeup college to sit around on my *** all day and be online!? I dont think so. Is there something to be told about this or havent I taken the Initiative to the extreme that I have to?? What more of an extreme can I take it, I dont know!!!! What the HELL???? And I took the ? as asking the universe or God for help in pointing me in the right direction here, not realizing you were talking about Yahoo Answers.

I really liked Tocca's: "An answer is as valid as our minds want to make it valid..." which is pretty much it, in a nut shell. I often see "questions" that I know at once, the person has a predetermined concept, & they'll choose the answer that agrees & confirms them rather than one that has a slightly different view, but is enlightning. In a much larger dimension, we ask questions that have no answer. What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose? What is existence? That sort. I would say that we seek much which cannot be sought.

though we may get an answer to what we seek, it may not be the answer we want. So I will say no. On the other hand when we ask a question most of the time we already know the answer, we just deny ourselves the truth.

No
MANY QUESTIONS
Few "Satisfying "Answers in life
Sometimes answers need an open heart as well as mind. And those receiving it must have the same. Perhaps that is where we lose out understanding what we seek. Or what others want.
And perhaps the values of others interfere so you can't get the answers you seek. Confusion can cloud the mind.

No Enki hahaha because some people dodge the questions hahaha and are not forthcoming with the truth of say their own lives...........
We can ask them something but might be overstepping their boundaries in some way and they will either give a short answer or not bother to answer at all :))))
When I ask a question I find out the answer whether the person answers me or not HIS/HER silence is still an answer to my question :))))))))))))))))) I think that based on that question numerous other answers and other questions can come from them to find the truth in the end you have to keep asking "WHY" like Socrates said until you get your answer and I just love Socrates heheheahahah he was one smart man :))))

No, most often we do not get the answer we seek. It seems as if our expectations and self-interests supercede reality or even truth, at times. Sometimes our pride and arrogance clouds truthful responses, which often run contrary to the answers we seek.

If that were true, don't you think we'd have run out of questions a long, long time ago? Even if one gets a significant portion of the answers, then the questions are too easy, or the asker cannot distinguish the correct from the drivel, or somebody's found the crib sheet.

Well I believe that when you ask a question...especially in philosophy...you shouldn't SEEK a specific answer. You should keep your mind wide open and let the answers flow in. And then...the answer that falls right into the heart of a question...well...you've got your best answer.

that's only if we ask the right question but whenever you do seek for an answer it is the element that comes after that you can either form to fit the answer you want
