What questions have you been asking in your life recently?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 10, 2009:

I believe my status has been for about ten days or more "Ashley is asking no questions so tell me no answers"

I actually have been refusing to ask any questions lately. I'm tired of answers. I'm sick of paradoxes. It seems like when you ask questions (or even when you don't ask questions) you get answers. Wiether those answers are right or not are entirely up to me.

I'm just tired of asking questions and having other people answer them who think they know more than me. Who feel like they need to school me or guide me or let me in on some secret that they know and I don't. Who are more "enlightened"

Yeah.. Okay. If you're enlightened, I must be illuminated.

I'm asking no questions so tell me NO answers... I'll draw my own conclusions thanks.

I think you're pretty smart to stop asking questions - especially out loud.
Everyone will give you their 2 cents.
I stopped asking the questions and looking for some complicated answer to what I perceived to be a complicated question.  Must be  complicated 'cuz no one has answered it to my satisfaction.  In the end, i found there were simple answers that could be found by stilling the mind, NOT thinking.  The Buddha taught that we should find out “truth” for ourselves, and not to ask questions that cause “vexation” (and arguments)  - like what came first, the chicken or the egg? or does God exist?
What do we really need to know?  What do we ask ourselves in futility?   Oh, hell, those are questions too .  Yikes!

I ask so many questions and I'm told the answers are right here inside of me, so I think you're way ahead of me already there Ashley! 

Just remember to stay curious and open and always keep learning.

I love your profile pic, btw!

Oh, c'mon!

I cam all this way to spend two cents and you ain't even gonna look at them?

Guess I will have to massage my ego somewhere else.

Good day!

lol You can tell me.. but I can't promise that I'll listen. It's funny though. For the most part even when I don't want have questions.. people still feel like they need to tell me answers.
