Questions matter more than answers.

Questions unwind the mind while the answers wind the mind up.

The quest part of the question is far more important than the destination end-point of the answer: a question is a liberating journey into the unknown, an answer is a dead-end of pseudo-certainty.  A question sets the mind unstuck, breaking the impasse of knowing. Knowing  re-incarcerates the mind in a re-invented sense of certainty.

When you look at the swirling dervish of this composite body that you are (with its endless metamorphosis of matter), you have to eventually ask yourself: “Is there indeed such a thingless thing as mind?  Or is mind just another philosophical unicorn – a word without a referent?”

At the deepest level of analysis the no-mind of mindfulness debunks the illusion of its own permanence.

As you look inside for the one that is looking you find no one and with that everything becomes just enough and so.

And they are apparently too stupid to realize how easy it is to ensure they are called out for their bad behavior.
