What is something you'd never question? And why is that?


*kudos to Constantean of fetlife for coming up with the question. The guy's fantastic! :D
 
I don't think there's much I don't question...I'm trying to think of something I've never questioned.

Do you mean question as in wonder about, like, "I wonder why the sky is blue?" Or do you mean question as in more of a challenge?
 
What makes facts facts?

fact [fakt]

noun
1.
something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.
2.
something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.
3.
a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.

Sometimes, to question is to challenge. :)
But, so as not to pointlessly split hairs (I HATE split ends:rolleyes:), both.

And how do you assess that something does in fact exist?
Whose knowledge are you using for historical facts?

yes I'm aware of that definition. That's why I asked for your clarification :p

I suppose there are plenty of things I don't actively CHALLENGE (like, to continue the example, that the sky is blue), but I wonder, and investigate the whys and hows for most things rather readily. So I might want to know why the sky is blue, how it is blue, and the philosophize on what blue really is and how it applies to a sky, but I'm still going to pretty much accept that, regardless of those answers, the sky still appears to be blue to anyone with normal color vision.

i love your answer! The question had me digging deep, when really, it's all right in front of our faces! Trees-Green. Dirt-Brown. Ocean-Deep. Sky-High. No need to reinvent the wheel with so many questions about these things. At least for me.

i guess what it really amounts to is that those things would be different for everyone.
What is your currency?

Romanian lei, for me. :D
 
I don't question me.
I may not like any reaction I show to whatever. But its me and therefore its something I have to learn to deal with and not something unnatural or something to get rid of.
As a kid I had a violent temper. I didn't like what that got me into. I learned to control myself. But the temper is there even now and fuels my activities more often than not. It has become some kind of fuel for compassion as well as anger.
Its a part of mine and I won't question that.

you mad bro?
 
The older I get, the more I've seen in my life. I've seen things that should never be and wonder about things that should be and never are. I've seen the strangest anomalies and I've experienced wonderful things that I could never explain well enough and do them justice. I've come to know you can't take anything for granted or something will go wrong. You must question absolutely everything.
 
My immediate response was - that I am loved.

But generally I'm a very curious person so question a lot of things.
 
I like avocado. I don't question it. However, I did recently buy two. One was large, bright, green, "low cal" and genetically modified.

One was shriveled, brown, small and hopefully, not genetically modified.

They both cost an outrageous $1.20 or so each!?! Still, I was feeling a bit like spoiling myself so I bought them.

I briefly wished I were at Sam's Club. There I can get an entire bag of them for an overall cost that is much less. Of course, I also realized the gas alone on that trip would make it less than economically ideal. Not to mention the time cost.

I took them both home for a taste test. How I love experimenting. I don't question that either.

:D

WHOA! No need to get racist, bro!

Which one tasted better?
 
I do not question that life is ever changing. I do not question the love I have for my children. Everything else is suspect.
