Yes my lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers

About This Quote

Questions are dangerous, for they have answers. When a question is posed with a direct answer, it can be considered a threat or a threat to the status quo. If the questioner is attacked for their questioning, then that is an act of violence. To ask questions that pose threats or to be seen as too inquisitive is to be viewed as dangerous. Today, people are afraid of questioning authority figures because questioning authority figures upsets people who are unwilling to accept the answers that questions might bring up.
