The Power of a Question: The First Step Towards Discovery
by ZULFIQAR ALI
A question
is not merely a string of words; it is an emotion, a disturbance that arises
within the mind and heart. A question transcends language, culture, or
nationality—it resides inherently in every human being. It is the force that
gives birth to thought, opens new pathways, and unlocks the doors of knowledge.
But what exactly is a question?
What is a Question?
A question
is an inner restlessness, a conflict, a wavering. It is the first knock on the
door of complacency, the beginning of a quest for truth. A question can be
seen, heard, and sometimes even felt deeply. Some questions are born within us,
while others echo around us, waiting to be noticed.
The Importance of Questions
A question
is the first step in the pursuit of truth. It is the light that illuminates the
path through darkness. In stillness, it creates ripples; amidst chaos, it
brings calm. A question compels us to think, reflect, and explore new avenues.
It is a sign of wakefulness, a hallmark of progress. To ask a question can be
an act of rebellion against ignorance, yet it also lays the foundation for
learning and growth.
Why Fear Questions?
Throughout
history, societies have often tried to suppress those who dare to question.
History bears witness that those who raise questions are the ones who bring
change. Yet, there are always those who fear questions because they demand
answers—and sometimes, providing answers is uncomfortable or inconvenient.
Do We Have the Freedom to Ask Questions?
This is a
fundamental question worth pondering: Do we live in a society where the freedom
to ask questions exists? Are there people willing to listen to our questions?
And most importantly, are we ready to seek answers to our own queries?
If the
answer is yes, then we are on the path to progress. If not, we must ask
ourselves why we remain silent. Have we stopped questioning altogether? And if
we have ceased to question, have we also abandoned the journey of discovery?
Conclusion
Asking
questions is a sign of mental alertness. Those who do not question cannot
learn, and those who cannot learn cannot progress. We must embrace the act of
questioning, seek answers to our questions, and encourage others to do the
same. For a question is the spark that ignites the flame of knowledge and
awareness.
"Seen
Swaal" – A Platform for Curiosity
"Seen
Swaal" is envisioned as a platform designed to foster the art of
questioning. It encourages individuals to ask questions, gather them
collectively, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Here, you're invited to
contemplate answers before the questions even arise.
Let us embark on this journey together—searching for
questions, seeking their origins, and finding the courage to ask them. After
all, every great discovery begins with a single question: "Why?"
Call to Action:
Join us at "Seen Swaal"—where curiosity meets collaboration. Let’s
redefine the way we think, learn, and grow by embracing the power of questions.
Because in asking lies the seed of transformation.
