    What if there were no rhetorical questions? Could you answer one then?

    Yes. Once in fourth grade to a nasty substitute when I actually thought he wanted an answer. I grew out of that naive stage quite quickly after being yelled at. The question was along the lines of: "And who is at consequence for the unfortunate incident of my being told that a student has cheated on a test under my nose?" I answered "You, of course!" and got quite in trouble. I believe that the others WOULD of answered, if they would of understood the question.... ;)

    all philosophical questions are rhetorical, all worthy of an answer ,yet in this world of soundbites and impatience are we ready to listen to the answers?

    a good question will enevitably answer itsef if you have the wisdom to answer it enough times.

    understand what it is you are asking, you may conclude that all you need to understand IS understanding.

    i can consider i did...you know why?cuz when you're at a certain point of your life and you regret something that you've done(or you haven't,it deppends) or you just think what happens to you is so unfair,you start asking yourself questions,at that moment with no answers.

    which,after time goes by,begin to look and feel just like past,and answers start to appear.
