Another way I could ask is: Why do you have the desire to talk?
In recent times I have been asked on more than two occasions and in an around about way - what are the right questions to ask? After much contemplation my mind brought me back to a conversation I once had and I thought it would be better to first establish an answer or “pattern from answers” to the following question:
Why do people have the desire to talk?
With an answer or “pattern from answers” to this question in mind we can then possibly begin to establish a few ideas on what the right questions to ask are.
When looking around the Internet for an answer you are to be met with disappointing results that deal with the practical nature of talking. He we are looking for more introspective answers that some sort of pattern can be built from.
It has been suggested to me that at first it sounds like a practical question and that surely I have received all sorts of replies about the nature of communication, socializing as well as information exchange. It was also proposed that we skip this and assume I mean the desire to talk beyond the notion of exchanging information or to establish some social bond by the exchange.
I was further advised that it is possible then that we’re looking at - as well - excessive, meaningless, obsessive, compulsive forms; including of course social media exchanges with images and chats, tweets and all that.
To reword some text given to me: Now with a vague question, we’re bound to get vague or varying answers. Unless perhaps we were asking it in a Zen type of fashion in which case, potentially I or the ones replying to me will have to engage in a lot of talk, elaborations or even disagreements on the topic.
It was additionally propounded that “Perhaps the desire to talk, deep down, is then related to this desire to question”.
Conversely . . . Underneath our ability to talk in the first place is our ability to structure information - it is in this information structure where the “pure question” comes into being. The pure question is related to the silent mind(one of them anyway) - the pure question is a question that is not structured by any natural human language but rather an innate code that resides among the mind/body(brain) conceivably including both the central nervous and peripheral nervous systems. In the case of a desire then - it is perhaps something coded into us or a learnt function passed on to us from someone or something else - perplexing . . .
Returning psychotically to what prompted the question - being another question - what are the right questions to ask? - my immediate thoughts were those that do not yet have answers however this would also include the idea of false questions leading to false answers or something alike . . . even perhaps what are the wrong questions to ask? . . .
So: Why do people have the desire to talk?
