The question of life

Cherish your curiosity. It is your questions that will shape you.*
David Delgado

Question your maps and models of the universe, both inner and outer, and continually test them against the raw input of reality.**
Maria Popova

Each of us possesses a destiny, contrived by our disposition
and our situation in life, beyond which lie freedom
and responsibility, enabled
and actualised by our curiosity
and questioning, which make it possible to be open to more
and for longer with no end
in sight:
her reality is a potentiality.
What she is, she is not yet, but ought to be
and should become.^

If you were only allowed to ask one question in your life,
Or you conceived your life as a question,
What would it be?
