![]() ![]() ![]() To Ted Sturgeon, those were the people who got it, and in whose company he wished to be. Still, many people - artists, scientists, philanthropists, humanitarians, teachers, or maybe just the guy on the street corner - never stop asking the next question. Many people stifle that questing urge, either because they're brought up to be innately shallow and narcissistic (one doubts Paris Hilton or the Olsen twins spend much time crinkling their little brows and wondering what it's all about), or by latching on to one or another packaged belief system or philosophy as a means of avoiding the really difficult and frightening questions, because such beliefs are designed expressly to allow adherents to pretend they have all the answers they need. It was a letter "Q" with an arrow through it, and it meant, "Ask the next question." Life is nothing less than a quest, where we seek answers to benefit our knowledge or personal fulfillment every single day. Theodore Sturgeon had a pendant he wore around his neck that summed up his philosophy of life. ![]()
