Good Questions Don’t Always Lead To Good Answers

But they often lead to even better questions.

Bigger questions deeper questions. Truer questions. More significant questions. The “questions behind the questions”, as Ruth Haley Barton puts it.

One leads to the next. Together they will eventually lead you somewhere—somewhere good—like breadcrumbs.

So don’t be discouraged when you don’t get a satisfactory answer. If all you end up with is more questions, perhaps that’s a good sign that you asked the right question to begin with.

Keep following those breadcrumbs.
