True questioning has significance to the asker. It allows the person to gain knowledge or insight. Ranting allows the person to do just that. A lot of supposed questions are the later.

Well when humans think about how the brain functions, and how intelligence becomes conscious, we realize that with all life, rather it be bug or human the mind must ask questions.
The question that brings about a conscious life that the brain, or nervous system of a life asks, is "WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THIS SITUATION."
Of course its not always worded in English, but we know for a fact that this is how both the instinctive and conscious minds function.
The more memory the brain has to recall after asking this question the more complex the consciousness of decision making becomes.
We have gone from instinctive minds knowing what we should do, to conscious minds, thinking about the consequences of being in the situations we are about to partake in.
If there was no questioning of our surroundings, or the gaining energy of from the outside world the universe as we know it would not exist. For matter has the main principle of gaining and losing energy to change structure at a fundamental rate.

We learn by asking/questioning. Doubts are cleared, disputes resolved. The more questions one has, the more answers one received. It adds on to the knowledge one already possessed, makes one better and wiser.

Questioning is a higher thought. Not practiced by the meek. Meekness means "trainable", like a pet.

I think questioning is VERY important. You don't really know something until you've turned it over in your head, questioned it, wondered about it. You make thoughts your own by questioning them. If you just accept them or believe them uncritically, you don't really understand them, you're just repeating something you've been told.
