“The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
— Albert Einstein —
By now, you’ve seen what questioning can do.
You know its cost. You’ve felt it remake the shape of your life, even if it’s one unsteady choice at a time.
And maybe now you’re tired.
Because the longer you stay awake, the lonelier it can get. The more aware you become, the more you see how much of the world runs on autopilot. Small talk. Rituals no one even believes in. There’s a pressure to fall back in line.
But the flame doesn’t go out.
Not if you tend it. Not if you want it.
Einstein said never stop questioning. Because they keep the light on. They stop you from collapsing into fake certainty. They keep you porous—open to mystery, error, wonder.
It isn’t about being right. It’s about being alive to the not-knowing.
To ask and ask again—What matters now? What’s true today?—isn’t indecision. It’s staying alert. It’s holding your own gaze in a world that wants you dulled.
So yes, you’ll get tired.
Rest. But don’t quit.
You didn’t come this far just to become another expert in pretending.
You came to feel it all. You came to keep the flame.
Thank you for reading.
