All my life, until today, I have been content to ask questions. All the while knowing that the real questions, those that concern the creator and his creation, have no answers. I'll go even farther and say that there is a level at which only the questions are eternal, the answers never are. And so, the patient that I am, more charitable, repeats: 'Since God is, He is to be found in the questions as well as in the answers.
In Elie Wiesel's "Open Heart," the author reflects on his lifelong engagement with questions rather than definitive answers. He recognizes that many profound inquiries regarding existence and creation persist without resolution, emphasizing that the essence of such questions is what truly endures over time. Wiesel suggests that while we may seek answers, they often remain elusive, leaving questions as the primary means through which we explore our understanding of life and spirituality.
Wiesel further contemplates the relationship between God and human inquiry, asserting that God exists equally in the questions we pose and the answers we seek. This perspective invites readers to embrace the uncertainty of their journeys, positioning questions as core to our spiritual experience. By acknowledging the significance of both questions and answers, Wiesel encourages a deeper, more compassionate engagement with the mysteries of existence.
