A question people often find hard to answer is what their activity is for, and building on this, why they are doing what they are doing.

Knowing the answers to these questions takes time and effort. Discovering the answers is rarely achieved through a simple conversation. It is even possible that the answers change once we uncover what they are.

Sometimes the answers are not clear because the questions have never been asked before. It’s when we realize that the image that seemed clear becomes somewhat blurry and much less tangible than we thought. The image lacks context that we could use to develop our answers.

Sometimes it is also hard to answer these questions, because the answers have become so much a part of ourselves. It has then become difficult to put them into words that describe the complexity of an experience we know in detail but can’t access well without indicating a context.
