Voltaire

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers Question it is derived from the Latin "Quaerere" meaning "to seek.

Judge:

Middle English: from Old French juge (noun), juger (verb), from Latin judex, judic-, from jus ‘law’ + dicere ‘to say’.

man:

Old English man(n), (plural) menn (noun), mannian (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch man, German Mann, and Sanskrit manu ‘mankind’.

Answer [before 900; Middle English andswerien, Old English andswerian, andswarian, derivative of andswaru an answer =and- opposite, facing (compare and, along) + Germanic *swarō, derivative of swear] Judge a man but what he seeks, not but what he swears. Acts show better the way a person is rather than its words. Question comes from questioning, meaning a man seeking to grow. Answer is a statement that might be true or false. To decide what is true or false, it is needed to define reality, and have a coming reality at least. As Einstein said, for an arrow to reach its target, first its need to pass 1/2, therefore 1/4, and 1/8, tending to an infinite limit, meaning the arrow actually never reaches it target, showing that there is no reality. Therefore you create you own reality, meaning that there is no right or wrong answer, meaning that stating an answer is only right if sharing similar reality as the person who is listening.Therefore, it is healthier to judge a person by its questions rather than by its answers. Nevertheless, interesting to question therefore, why we live in a educational system, where students are graded and judged by its answers rather than by its questions. Is the education system helping humanity improve, or just making the most suited one advantageous. What is success, what is intelligence?
