| One of the very important therapists in the West was Fritz Perls. He used to say to his friends, patients and disciples, that only children ask questions. That seems to be perfectly true. Only children ask questions. Have you ever walked with a child – just a morning walk? And see – he will not allow you to walk at all. A thousand and one questions...each step brings questions. 'Why is this tree green papa?' Now who knows why this tree is green...? --Osho The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol. 2, ch. 6 |
