Q & A



 The best way to answer a question is to
first ascertain the intention behind it.
A question sincere and direct – 
or trying to be –
gets a direct answer, a guidance.
A question full of ignorance, 
or half-knowledge or ulterior motives,
gets an answer which uproots the question
and holds a mirror to the questioner.
Compare Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well,
and with his encounter with Nicodemus,
and then that with the Pharisees in general.
