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.
Running Fashion Philosophy
Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. only the most naive of questions are truly serious. they are the questions with no answers. a question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. in other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.

If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? no. does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? no. commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
School Math Numbers
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.

Thinking doesn't pay. just makes you discontented with what you see around you.
Thinking Pay
Well, unfortunately, i have always regretted the fact that i have a temper, but i also have, you know, have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. i think like everything else, this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.

I often think of death. true. suicide is a reasonable option. true. my sins are unpardonable. i stare at the question. my sins are unpardonable. i stare at the question. my sins are unpardonable. i leave it blank.
