"One does not die from a question."
~ Yiddish saying
It is important to remember and know. That is why asking questions is so important. Ask again until you understand. Knowledge gives us strength. Even more, knowledge provides us with light. That is why we call someone smart, 'bright.' It is why we call the learned, 'enlightened.' When someone has a novel idea we say, "That was brilliant."
In a religious vein it is no different. We are asked to ask. On one of our holiest holidays there are four questions actually laid out for us, just in case we have forgotten the art of asking.
Questions that go unverbalized are not questions at all. They are like passing random thoughts that seem to come from a black hole and disappear down another one soon afterward. That is why it is so important to get the questions out, and put them into words so that we can seek and find our answer.
Spiritually, we are also urged to ask. We open our mouths and ask God questions that are close to our soul. Like the scientific and religious model these must also be questions that are verbalized.
Go ahead, ask. He has been waiting to hear from you.
