We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit …

The Right Question
The wrong answers are more easily detected than the wrong questions. In my estimation, far too much time is spent debating the answers to incorrectly formed questions and far too little time is spent considering the fundamental question: "Are we asking the right question here?"
