I see these bumper stickers all the time…
…and, when I do, I always ask myself
“Fine. But what is THE QUESTION?”
Having an ‘answer’ is all well and good. But, it is meaningless without ALSO knowing what the question is/was. An answer without a question is like having a destination, but no reason for going there. It’s like being hungry, but not having an understanding of food. It’s like saying ‘I Am Here’, but not having a clue where ‘Here’ is.
Ergo, it is silly.
So, I usually make up questions…imagining what the drivers of those cars might be asking themselves. As an example, ‘Jesus is the Answer’ might be used with the following questions…
– why am I driving this P.O.S. car?
– why am I stuck in traffic?
– why do I drink too much beer?
– why haven’t I won the lottery yet?
– why do my kids hate me?
– why do I have dandruff?
– why do practitioners of ‘The Religion Of Peace‘ hate Westerners?
– why is porn so addictive?
But, obviously, asking the question correctly is very important.
Anyone care to help define a little better what ‘the question’ could be?
