Q AND A

The answers matter less It's the questions that are important Answers always vary From person to person But it's the questions that matter Some of the worst misunderstandings happen When the wrong questions are asked Or the right ones are not And sometimes we confuse the two Many things we think are answers Are in fact questions And lots of the questions we ask Are already our own answers Most of the time We are tempted to give others answers When what they really need are questions And to have only questions When what is needed is answers
