Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are

Questions are never indiscreet: answers sometimes are

Summary

This quote suggests that there is no harm in asking questions as they are never considered invasive or inappropriate. However, it implies that the answers provided in response to those questions can sometimes be indiscreet or indiscreetly given. It emphasizes the importance of being careful and considerate with the information one shares when responding to inquiries, recognizing that sometimes it is the answers themselves that carry potential consequences or impoliteness, rather than the act of asking the questions.

We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas. Meditation is therefore the art of suspending verbal and symbolic thinking for a time, somewhat as a courteous audience will stop talking when a concert is about to begin.
