Answering questions
December 16, 2004
To be somebody is answering questions
Taking time to think
Stopping up to let the imagination run wild
As you meditate on silly questions
Or the deep questions of existentially concern
When you answer questions
- No matter how deep or shallow they are
- No matter if they are questions of real life situations or hypothetical sophistry
- No matter which area they touch on
Then you show that you take people serious
And you care for what they are concerned about
Only because of love for that particular individual
When you answer questions
Only because of love for people
Then you really are somebody
In a world of efficiency and self interest
