00:00Is life worth living?
00:01But that question is never answered because it is never asked.
00:04Google will tell you only what you enter in the search box.
00:08People will advise you only what you ask them.
00:10There's hardly a person who can go beyond his brief and expand the scope of the answer
00:17beyond the question.
00:18Most of your advisors won't do that.
00:20Their answers will be in the same dimension as the question.
00:23It requires somebody very, very loving and risk-taking to give you an answer you never
00:29asked for.
00:30You see, when we seek advices, we actually limit the scope of the advice.
00:36We tell the other person, we want the answer in yes or no.
00:39We want the answer only about this topic.
00:42I want the answer only in my context, my own framework.
00:46What if the context itself is wrong?
00:49What if the framework itself is of ignorance?
00:52No answer will be then good enough.
00:54All answers will just lead to your eventual demise.
00:57So learn to ask the right questions.
