If the wrong questions are asked and get all the attention, it is impossible to discover the right answers to the right questions. By asking wrong questions and giving them attention we can divert attention away from the important questions we do not want to deal with. Questions embody assumptions. Wrong questions embody misleading assumptions. Questions do not invite the examination of the assumptions which are tacitly embodied in the questions. Wrong questions repress the examination of the misleading assumptions which are embodied in the questions. People who are participants in the collusive games of self deception of addicts and their codependents are people who often ask misleading questions; for them asking wrong questions is a highly developed skill by which to avoid honest consideration of embarrassing truths. Diversionary questions and issues are not in and of themselves bad. They may, however, be mis-used if focusing attention upon them is used as a technique for avoiding much more important questions and issues. Legitimate questions and issues can be abused by people who want to avoid more important issues and questions; by pressing the less important questions in the face of pressing need to consider the more important questions. Wisdom is not the accumulation of the right answers to whatever questions have been asked. Wisdom has to do with being able to ask clearly and gently the questions which transcend the seductive assumptions of colluders, addicts and their codependent supporters. Wisdom is not a technological achievement. Wisdom is not an accumulation of information or knowledge; but rather wisdom is the will, ability and freedom to transcend the human inclination to avoid embarrassing truths in favor of comforting pretense. Wise people do not get trapped in preoccupations with misleading questions which are used to perpetuate collusions, addictions and codependencies. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
