As we were talking about, this was a topic that was fascinating to me and that I wrote about in Behavioral Scientist, but this comfort with questions completely broke down in my personal life. I, Rilke talks about loving the questions. Well, I had never felt further from loving the questions in my life. I hated the questions. I hated these questions about What am I doing with my life?

Well, it's a really interesting point because I think what I was feeling and I think what so many other people feel is it's so uncomfortable to be in that place of uncertainty, right?
