When was the last time you asked a question humbly?

(1) When was the last time you asked a question, knowing that you did not have the answers, hoping that somebody wiser and more experienced could help you?

(2) Have you ever asked a question like that on this forum?

Update:

@ Eclipse Girl:

(1) I do now. Thank you for the info. (grin)

(2) Oh, I am trying to decide whether to stay on this forum. I'm not trying to judge, but I'm trying to understand whether there are ever honest questions out there.

    I rarely ask questions here that are serious because of the overwhelming amount of clowning around, but I am very short on all kinds of knowledge and I'm always seeking clarification about one thing or another.

    As I said, I don't ask ? on this forum, but Ido appreciate what you're getting at here. The best assumption for a person with questions is for them to acknowledge that they lack answers, and therefore they have questions. Unfortunately most people aren't interested in enlightening themselves as much as showing off how clever they are, and much smarter and above the fray they are.

    Most issues about religion could be resolved if people would sit down on their own and first ask themselves "what do I know for sure?" After naturally realizing that there isn't a lot anyone can know for certain, some honest inquiry in the spirit of friendship and helpfulness can begin as we all have some natural talents in various areas of thought and cognitive/intuitive abilities.

    I was on vacation, and asked questions about the culture , flora, and fauna of the various areas we visited,

    Did you know that the red kangaroo can put a blastocyst into a state of hibernation also known as Embryonic Diapause.

    2( I have asked 2 questions on this forum. Why does that matter?

    I must admit, my goal here is to spread more wisdom than I am taught, but when I'm at work I seek wisdom from nurses, doctors and patients on a daily basis.

    I stopped doing that once I realized nobody answers questions humbly and nobody here is really that wise or experienced.

    With all humility & grace from above, with wisdom & knowledge I compose questions for those who would like to answer them.
