Searching for the art of questioning

[dandan]

Could someone share a resource which helps us to formulate questions for own benefit?

Like philosophers did, they pursue the art of creating questions... Maybe many philosofers were wrong however they did continually improve themselves and their thoughts by the art of questioning

I'm interested, because that's what makes me reflect the most... Thank you for sharing

I would not question things for my own benefit. I just take them as they are and this way I avoid mental anguish and unnecessary drama. It is my personal choice. To maximize benefit for you personally I would advise to study world around you, but better than studying is engaging It and becoming living part of It. Than no understanding is needed as you are one with It.

Tolstoy wrote a really great nihilistic section on suicide. In a work from 1882 titled Confession, he outlines 4 escapesfor people to deal with the bleakness of life. One is ignorance where people convince themselves that life is worth living and refuse to acknowledge the dark side of existence. Second is Epicureanism, where people acknowledge the dark side of existance, but just do their best to deal with it and make happiness where they can find it. This is where most people are. The third escape is in strength and energy to destroy life when one has understood the absudity of it. Once they see the bad joke that life is, the promptly end it of their own volition. The 4th way out is one of weakness. These people see the truth of the situation and cling to life because they do not have the strength and courage to end it. That was the category he put himself into. He did not commit suicide and later convinced himself that life was ok, even as he declined in health.

Life is terribly unfair , sometimes yeah a bad joke, and sometimes fun, so I'm in all of the states. That could be a nice read, dunno.

But I'm out of ctb state thanks to trt, I do like sex, fun , laughing and more ... But I can get enough and then switch to life's bad joke...

It's so twisted and fucked up LOL
