  3. Asking is a request for the truth. Asking creates. Asking questions never fails. People may not like it, but it’s necessary. Ask away. Asking is the life of everything. Without asking nothing is real. If you don’t ask, you don’t get the answer.

  4. i find myself in this creepy little elevator again, heading down, down to the basement. i wait impatiently as it creaks and slowly, slowly jitters open. finally its doors shudder into the walls, allowing me to see the long hallway that lies before me, and the huge desk that awaits me at the end.

  8. I am asking that we move on to a new word. Wouldn’t that be nice? I love the rush of seeing the new word of the day and running my fingers across the keyboard as my mind races to make words into a story. Thanks to whoever put this site here. Good job!

  9. I am asking about your life. what do you do? I like to ask questions to think about others and find out their stories asking is an important way to gain knowledge about the people, cultures and events around you. Asking promotes learning and when you don’t ask questions you are accepting ignorance. You should always be inquiring about your surroundings

  10. to ask for forgiveness is not a sin. asking does not always mean begging. there is a saying, if you do not ask, even your mother will not feed you. ask any questions and know all answers. not asking is a problem. Ask not what your country did for you ask what you did for your country

  11. asking someone that one question is really a daunting task. i always had someone whom i wanted to ask that but i never had that courage in me to go ahead and put my question to get the answer for the same.

  12. asking was yesterdays word. asking permission. asking not telling. i’m asking you what you think. why can’t i get a straight answer? just say what you want don’t dance around cause you think it makes it easier. it only makes it harder. i’m asking you to be honest with yourself and me.

  13. i’m not asking for forgiveness, just a little understanding.

    i don’t care, she said. i don’t know why you thought that doing something like that was okay.

    you never told me you wanted to date exclusively.

    well, since we were living together and all, i just kind of assumed that the relationship was serious.

  15. questions define humans, the asking of them, or so it is often thought. The truth is, I have seen dogs ask questions, I have seen birds wonder about their surroundings.

  16. this is an interesting word- it’s a word that demands things from other people. when you use this word it means that you are expectant in some way or another, of someone else to do the answering. It is a word that represents our reliance on others for so many things- approval, respect, advice etc etc.
    There aren’t many questions that can’t be asked, but there are endless ones that haven’t got an answer.
    So, this word represents reliance, but also the freedom to ask whatever questions we wish. To question the world around us and to be free to ask a question without expecting an answer.

  17. asking the right questions…finding the wrong answers. asking the wrong questions finding the right answers. asking others instead of yourself.

  18. I’m asking you to do something for this group. You’ve done nothing but go out every night and drink your life away. So go ahead, become a drunken slut, but don’t let me lose my grade because YOU want to have sex with a freshman soccer player who likes shitty country music. So get your stupid blonde ass in here and make this goddamn project.

    Amy
  19. Feel it in rhythms of these busy, beaten bones;
    Every muscle moving under rivers of our skin,
    Every hollow asking us forgiveness for our sins.

    Kim
  20. well I ask many question but mostly people dont like to answer all my question beacause either they dont know or they dont want to, sadly all pretends to answer me because I am a marketing agent :-)

  25. have to think quickly. have to phrase the question. what is the right question? will i get a right answer? sometimes wary of asking. wary of hearing answers. let others ask even if i am the one with the questions.

    jenna
  26. pleading
    begging

    searching for answers

    never knowing the truth

    constantly thirsting for knowledge

    like a sponge, you absorb any and all information

    questioning
    the
    truths
    of
    this
    world

    Krystina

  28. Asking is learning
    seekers of knowledge find
    without asking there is stillness
    stillness stagnates
    and stunts
    which begets apathy
    ask learn grow

  29. I remember asking him at the time, “what’s the point of staying together if we know we’ll just end things eventually?”
    He answered, “Just to see how long it lasts.”
    I couldn’t find an answer to that, so I went along with it. Bad idea.

  30. I’m just asking. It’s just a simple question. Could you love me? Hell, I’ll settle for liking me. Its so weird, dating. I hate it. Maybe I will become a cat lady and just hang out with my cats. But I want you in my life. So I’m just asking, but could we be something?

    Kate
  31. getting more information

  33. I like asking people how they feel about music. Music is really my life and my passion. and i’m not the kind of person you think i am, music is my life blah blah, when people say that they are to shallow about it. I can’t tell you what music does for me.

    Chris
  34. i’m not demanding, i’m just suggesting that you may like to, for me, you know, a favour
    she did not sound convincing
    i’m afraid, you know.
    very very afraid.
    that when i wake up
    neither of us will be here at all

    please hold me.

  35. Everyone should stop asking pointless questions, and find out the answers themselves. Nobody is able to do anything on their own anymore! What happened to all the self-reliant people. People can’t cook, do their own laundry, or anything, without asking somebody to do it for them, or taking a college course on how to do it!

    Natalie
  36. there is a question
    on my lips,
    inscribed, you should
    be able to taste it by now.

    do you speak the same
    language as me?
    then i don’t suppose
    it’s too much to ask
    that you take this step.

    i hate to see how our time
    evaporates so fast.

    RM
  37. asking you to leave me alone. stop infiltrating my life with an endless stream of nothingness. asking: where am i in this mess?

  39. the kids are constantly asking me things. who, how, why, when…it is about to drive me out of my mind. I don’t know all the answers. I need a google bar in my car! I know a lot, but not about physics! Please give me a break!

    fishwife
  40. Just asking, Do you, or do you not?
    Asking won’t get you anywhere,
    cause I’m not telling.
    It’s non of your business.
    How can that be?, It’s my life.
