Why is there a need to ask?

While I was waiting for my friends to finish their laboratory work, I sat downopened a blank page in my notebook and started asking myself why there is a need to ask.

For me, asking is to:
Prove ones knowledge over a specific topic
Know and understand new things
Clarify points that is misunderstood
Seek for the truth or the answer
Reflect onto ones action
Exercise the mind
Puzzle the one being asked
Start a conversation
Show interest towards something
Affirm ones point of view
Show disbelief
Have make fun of other people
Signify need for help
Relieve stress
Think of questions
Acknowledge something
Informing others by making them aware
Spend time in a productive manner

I conclude that asking is essential to the growth of a person. It contributes to the development whether its emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspect. In a sense that if they don't get an answer at all and or if the got answer that will change their perspective about things in either good or bad. It also allows a person to know more about him/her self.

In philosophy there need to constantly ask about things to understand everything. Some questions lead to quite depressing results but can be converted into something positive. Also through asking, there rise perspectival(biased, based on perspective and interpretation) answers that proves that everything is an interpretation. Asking is the key to start the quest to find knowledge. And only through this knowledge people will understand how to live their life, what purpose and goals to achieve.

If a person stops asking, the person stops receiving. In this process stagnation of the brain occurs and development will not take place. Answers are just there to make or break a person upon how it is perceived. To interpret something in the right and positive way is the only way to progress in life that's why there is a need to ask.
