Long time ago, I had written the following headline: "See the possibilities in a landscape of no answers". I had this headline lying around for ages, because I did not really know what to do with it. But it is so obviously right. Because that is the way I feel: actually, I am most at ease in the situations where there are no obvious answers, where I have to look into things myself. And that is the case in many situations: if we do not know precisely what to do, it opens for creative thinking and quaint solutions.
For the same reason, it is worth saying: even if there might be an obvious answer for a question, it might actually in some situations be beneficial to try to disregard that answer and start looking into things on our own. Maybe something new is found along the way. And that even if the final conclusion is the answer that was disregarded in the first place.
