Questions
As with many others, the further I question order, the more questions I receive in reply. For example, traditionally, women were they who to sewing was assigned. Traditionally, only men could be tailors. What does this mean? What does this indicate? Was being a tailor considered shameful, but necessary in order to cater to the upper-class as dealing with money was thrust upon the Jewish? Does the standing of higher classes provide acceptance into transcending the customs of tradition? Alas, those are questions it is frustrating to receive in the expectance of some profound and simplistic truth.
I have found that the answers to the best questions tend to be a plethora of new questions. In a way, it teaches a lesson in that the world does not function in accordance to will; it is not an existence that caters to a single person. This does not imply that, inversely, one necessarily caters to it, but rather that there is a profound indifference, born not of negligence, but the very base of existence in totality. There are rarely straight answers to simple questions because a simple question penetrates to the core of the subject under inquiry. This idea is conveyed with every questions received by those expecting an answer.
It is my belief that the occurrence of further questioning is of higher value than that of any future answer. Further understanding of how the truth of existence functions is not something to be filed away simply like a historic date. It is meant to linger, and cause such an impression that it echoes within one's thoughts until they draw their last breath.
