That is a great quote, which I agree and disagree at the same time... While it is a waste of time to ponder questions that are either unanswerable or unhelpful in the short term, knowing all you can about source of your trouble IS important.earl said:"Suppose Malunkyaputra, that a man has been wounded by a poison arrow, and his friends and family are about to call a doctor. Wait, he says, I will not let this arrow be removed until I have learned the caste of the man who shot me. I have to know how tall he is, what family he comes from, where they live, what kind of wood his bow is made from, what fletcher made his arrows. when I know these things, you may proceed to take the arrow out and give an antidote for the poison. What would you think of such a man?"
"He would be a fool, blessed One...His questions have nothing to do with getting the arrow out, and he would die before they are answered."
"
An easy rebutal to that phrase would be "It is important to know those things to make sure it doesn't happen again".
Thanks.
