Humanity should be able to live with mystery without feeling uneasy. It is important to ask, when is it okay not to know? MOHAN DHALL wrote. Krish Na wrote: Interesting perspective. Seeking truth is the core of any religion, yet religions often dissuade followers from asking too many questions. ‘Have faith’ is the most common refrain. Is it okay to not ask questions? Yes. But is it okay to prevent others from asking questions though?

Curiosity is a basic human trait and is fundamental to progress. However, progress has its victims too. Exploration led to isolated lands joining the rest of the world but destroyed native life. Individuals may curb their curiosity due to inherent limitations, but societies cannot. A question there for asking will be asked, later if not now, by someone else if not us. Alien life exploration may doom us all one day, like Hawking says, but if we don’t go looking for them, they’ll come looking. There’s an ancient saying in my rst language Telugu- ‘truth is like re. If you try to cover it up, it’ll burn through its cover and come forth’.
