"Questions are a burden to others. Answers are prison for oneself. " The Prisoner
The worst thing a person can be is afraid to ask a question. Being afraid comes with the previously spoken territory - there can be more to fear than fear itself but that's all par for the course - but being afraid of expressing curiosity is a horrible, crippling sensation. It would sound strange coming from me, but I believe there is more than one answer to any question if there is only enough motivation and desire to look for it. And for one to be willing to look past the first presented answer for deeper meanings, further and more progressing thought patterns, that in itself would require a heart set on adamant dedication. There is no shame in that, only praise to be found.
I never feared the idea of asking questions when I was in school and classes. I wanted to learn, I wanted to know that I could figure out what I was being told and taught even if I didn't comprehend it right away, at that moment. I didn't want to think anything was beyond the reaches of my mind, and the truth is that it wasn't, I just had to know that it was all right to stumble a little along the way.
Sticking only to one answer simply for the reason that it's the first is what paralyzes thought. And with that crippling notion in place, there's no room for any kind of growth.
That potential lack of development is what scares me the most.
