Foundations 2: Living the Questions

from On Being with Krista Tippett Hosted by On Being Studios

We live in a world in love with the form of words that is an opinion, and the way with words that is an argument. Yet it is a deep truth in life — as in science — that each of us is shaped as much by the quality of the questions we are asking as by the answers we have it in us to give. Precisely at a moment like this, of vast aching open questions and very few answers we can agree on, our questions themselves become powerful tools for living and growing. "If you are faithful to living a question, that question will be faithful back to you." Experience the whole collection of four Foundations for Being Alive Now on the On Being Project website.
