Most of my questions are at least vaguely connected to me in some way. They did come from me after all. Isn’t the saying the best material is stuff you know about?
Some of them not so much or were just triggered in a random conversation or had some other inspiration.
Some recent occurrence always prompts the asking of the question, even if it is something I’ve been wondering for a while. That said, I haven’t asked that many questions here.
I think most questions I ask are driven by something that has occurred in my life. It might be watching the news or a conversation or a book I’ve read or an actual event. It might just be something that pops into my head.
