Question

Today's word for the writing challenge is QUESTION. I think asking questions is good. I believe that one should always, always think for oneself and ask questions. It doesn't matter who is telling me something whether politician or pastor, I WILL question whether what you are telling me is true and right. 

Critical thinking is important, right? It should be encouraged, shouldn't it? It's even in the curriculum to teach children as a vital skill. So why then are questions in fact discouraged? Asking the "wrong" questions that go against whatever narrative the media is currently spewing get you immediately labelled if not verbally attacked. There is no room for discussion, let alone seeing more than one point of view. I find this extremely dangerous.
