Thinking-beings wrestle within their own minds with answer to certain questions which one never wants to answer but yet has to answer from time to time. Mostly the answer is obvious and simple but one cannot answer without getting trapped in one way or the other.

Here are some of those questions with answers which I think have a minimal risk of being trapped.

Q. May I have a few minutes of your time? (This is a common question from sales persons who come to your door and ask for a few minutes of your time to make a presentation of a terrific product.)

A. Yes but you can only make your presentation and I will not answer any question you ask. (Their entire sales strategy is based on trapping you with their questions. This answer occured to me once when a cable TV guy came to our house and when he couldn't sell the package to me in any other way he finally asked, "Don't you love your children?" meaning if I loved them I will get them the cable TV.

Q. But why did he do that? (A question asked when someone does a totally ridiculous thing which everyone knows to be wrong but still they put this question instead of supporting you in what you say.)

A. It's a waste of time to look for a reason in what fools do. Fools are guided by only one thing and that is their desire for self-gratification. Never look for any other motive to explain the actions of fools.
