We are always asking, asking. In the very asking, in that very question, we want someone to reply, someone in authority, someone who knows, someone who has a deep understanding of life. So we look to others, and thereby depend and are caught in the opinions of the clever ones, or the ancient teachers, or the latest erudite scholar. We are concerned with opinions, and opinions are not the truth. Discussing opinions has very little meaning; it only leads to dialectical, clever, intellectual argumentation.
