More From Solomon Ibn Gabirol

As human beings, don't we need questions without answers as well as questions with answers, questions that we might someday answer and questions that we can never answer?
Needs Answers Might
Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. one stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics.

Lips half-willing in a doorway. lips half-singing at a window. eyes half-dreaming in the walls. feet half-dancing in a kitchen. even the clocks half-yawn the hours and the farmers make half-answers.

Can a mortal ask questions which god finds unanswerable? quite easily, i should think. all nonsense questions are unanswerable. how many hours are in a mile? is yellow square or round? probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that.
