For Every Answer There Is A Question

Since when did a succession of full stops become the most acceptable way to break up and reproduce thoughts? Why are we conclusion-oriented, and not content to simply ask a question which is open-ended? Why is it so difficult to stop questions resulting in statements, and so easy to trade the question format for the statement style?
Why are answers seen as more desirable than questions, when questions are more explicitly thought-provoking? Why is the ambiguity they evoke demonised? Why not see questions as your best friend, the most pure and unadulterated form of theory?
Why do I still dismiss my own ideas to write texts using only question marks?
What about you?
Don't you think a question mark is a beautiful symbol? What better way to imbue language with that special 'open to interpretation' vibe? Is anything ever not open to interpretation?
(Why do I still look at the photo of this person and weep, and long for us to somehow, against all odds, make a romance work out?)

When Will Lady Gaga Be Comfortable With Her Own Dance Moves?
"Some girls won't dance to the beat of the track / She won't look away, but she won't look back." - What does this lyric in Dance In The Dark say about Lady Gaga's sense of stasis - stuck between misogyny and some modes of feminist self-empowerment?
What does the beat symbolise? The system of repetition that she relies on musically in her beats, or just the systems in general (she has illustrated staunch defiance in regards to institutionalised homophobia and misogyny)?

Why did I believe it would be so difficult to start writing in questions without pause? How wonderful that it has made me reconnect with my deeper rhythms of narrativity?
