"Il y a des questions naïves des questions ennuyeuses des questions mal formulées des questions posées après une autocritique inadéquate Mais chaque question est un cri pour comprendre le monde Il n'y a pas de question stupide"
— Carl Sagan
Simplified Meaning:
When people ask questions, they might sometimes seem simple, boring, or not well thought out. No matter how a question is phrased or why it's asked, it shows someone is trying to understand something they don't yet know. For example, a student in a class may hesitate to ask how photosynthesis works because they worry it sounds silly. However, that student is actually showing a desire to learn about plant biology, which is important. We should remember that every question comes from a place of curiosity and wanting to learn more about the world around us. So, instead of judging the question, it's better to appreciate the effort to seek knowledge, because every question helps us grow and understand better.
