Night

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, I noticed thoughts I considered to be very interesting. "He (Moshe) explained to me with great insistence that every question possessed a power that did not lie in the answer." (p2) This I believe to be a powrful statement. But there are many ways to interpret it. I think it means that there is more to a question than its answer, when we ask a question, even if we don't realize it, we are looking for more than just an answe. We want to know the reason for that answer, but most of all, the reason for the question. Sometimes the truth of matters does not lie with these answers but with the questions themselves, as I believe it is mentioned here. What is even harder still to understand is the fact that these questions are the answers. Within every question we ask, lies an answer we dare not turn to, for fear of it being the worng one. But the truth is there is no right or wrong answer in life; all we have to do is dig deeper and look closer, and then, only then, will we find the one that will take us down the better path.

"I pray to the God within me that He will give me the strength to ask Him the right questions." (p3) I find this to be a real life situation. I pray to God to answer my questions, but I never wonder wether what I'm asking Him is right. This is why we most times dont know wether its worth believing or not in God, because we ask God for favors and answers, but what if these are not it? What if these questions He cannot answer, but its us who must? God's job is to guide us down the right path, but not do the path for us. The right way through life will obviously never be the easy one. God will lead us through a deep, dense forest full of temptations and decisions, but it is us who have to solve our problems and answer our questions. God has given us the otion of taking this path, wether we take it or not, is entirely up to us.
