Some questions might be questioned as to being a question, which

introduces new questions such as; can life ask a question? Probably

not, but those alive might ask if life is a question and that would

be life asking itself.

Another question is does a question have a purpose other than the

one of interpretation? Probably not.

The nasty habit of giving everthing a purpose is one we should get

rid of I think.

Sometimes a question might not be fully understood though, just as

life isn't.
