#TODO Needs work

An example usually helps us to understand a difficult idea by representing it with a concrete reality, or in other words it helps answer an question.

Questions are more than just the sentences that we articulate. An intrinsic question exists wherever there is a principle. Even the simplest objects, such as a rock (example) beg a question.

We can also note from where the question and the answer come from. That is, a question often comes from below and is answered by that which is above. A student asks a question of a teacher, or a child of a parent. A teacher may also ask a question of the student, but this is to direct to the answer that they will provide.

Notice the direction of these questions, in terms of hierarchy:

Question: (from Jesus) Who do people say that I am?
- Answer: Some say John the baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets (Mark 8:27-28)
Question: (about Jesus) Who is this? What makes him special?
- Answer: The voice which said: "This is my Beloved Son. Listen to Him."

Q: Of what use is a mere rock?

A: Idea: a building, such as the Temple or a home. Buildings form a city, which make up a civilization, whereby men form an identity -- family, tribe, or nation.

Q: Who is my family? To whom am I responsible? Who will tell me what to do?
