“In an age that prides itself on being capable of resolving and clarifying every aspect of experience in such a way as to explain it, in the hope of controlling it, we are too apt, when faced with a question that cannot be answered, either to deny that the question has meaning, or to deny that the problematic entity exists, or both. It is not just Zen wisdom that is founded on pondering irresoluble questions, and paradoxical injunctions: you scarcely need to be a Zen master to see the deficiencies in the all too common modern Western strategy of ruling questions impermissible, or denying the existence of what we can’t comprehend. The most important questions are, precisely, the unanswerable ones.”
