Everytime I ask myself an existential question i write it down on a post-it note, i fold it into a tiny almost cube-shape then put it into a jar. I keep this jar on my desk, it’s a daily reminder of the human failure to answer these questions. It is rather MY own failure to answer them. I made a pact with myself that once a week i will draw a question and think about for a week and try to figure out a question. I still haven’t started answering, I’m still raising questions. It is the fun part to be the gadfly and shake all the dusty beliefs of my own, to unshackle the mind and unleash the hunger for knowledge in me.
