Knowledge is one of the most crucial aspects of human life. We’re born into this world without knowing the basics, yet with the amount of information that is constantly circling around us – we’re able to grow into these intelligent creatures.

We do things for the first time; we learn about our past and our present; we expand our creative thinking by listening to our mother’s bedtime stories – and it all allows us to develop an understanding of life and its gripping wonders. Some folks have a better relationship with the whole learning process, for instance, good old math. The majority of us don’t do well with the science of numbers, but once we come across a person who’s good with the subject, we get taken aback by their outstanding skill.

Knowledge is knowledge, and if someone wants to fuel their mind with information, no one should ever be ashamed to ask things. This online user has a similar viewpoint – in fact, they have a whole collection of answers to amusing questions that folks didn’t hesitate to ask.

The person began their entertaining thread by revealing that whenever they run into educational personnel – folks that work as professors, teachers, etc. – they like to ask a specific question: “what’s the weirdest question someone’s ever asked you?” They share that the reason why they’re referring to the question as “weird” and not “dumb” is because even the craziest query could have an important answer. The author later adds that it simply warms their heart to know that people are eager to learn things, regardless of how limited their starting point is.

The grand opening for this excellent collection is a question that an art museum host managed to receive from one of the visitors: a thought-provoking sentence that could trigger an existential crisis if read too many times, which entertained the gallery employee to the point where he thought that it’d be a marvelous title for an artwork.

It’s understandable that asking a question, whether you believe it to be ridiculous or not, puts us in a vulnerable position. Folks are afraid to expose themselves as no one knows if they’ll get judged or scolded for being a fool. It’s a life-harming habit that hinders us and makes it difficult to celebrate our existence.

Society has trained us to believe that it’s an absolute must to be a responsible and all-knowing individual that doesn’t require help every once in a while. Our ability to unapologetically ask things was the very first step that helped us to get to where we are now. Just imagine what kind of questions and the amount of our never-ending “why’s” our parents had to endure.

Yet, nobody ever thought about pointing out how weird our questions might’ve sounded. Our family understood that we were growing and trying to comprehend what this thing called life is, so why is it so shameful now? A lot of people don’t have their lives figured out, plus it’s highly impossible to know everything there is to our existence. Each person specializes in their own subject and it’s normal to exchange information, no matter how odd you think you might look.

Knowing things is wonderful, so why should you limit yourself? Of course, there’ll be a few individuals that’ll act as if you’re asking something too unorthodox, but folks like that could be encountered at any point of your life, whether you barrier yourself from them or not. Moreover, by asking something creative, you can brighten the day of multiple people without even knowing it, just like folks from this thread did.

Fellow users were amused by the inquiries, and some shared their own experiences
