“Questions you cannot answer are usually far better for you than answers you cannot question”
— Yuval Noah Harari

Simplified Meaning:
Not having all the answers can be more helpful than having answers you’re not allowed to question. For example, think about when children ask lots of questions. They are curious and learn more because they keep asking why and how. This curiosity helps them grow and understand the world better. On the other hand, if someone gives you an answer and says you can't ask anything about it or challenge it, you stop learning and thinking for yourself. In life, it’s good to keep questioning and exploring, as it leads to deeper understanding and wisdom. This way, you stay open-minded and continue to learn new things.
