For the most part, I'd say we think recursively. If I do this, then my action will benefit me in some way. Perhaps the most important thing others teach me is what benefits me. Then to them I disclose questions in the form of answers. In return I receive answers.
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you are ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed infinite inside your head to no more than living size when they come out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to where your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to the treasure chest your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked up not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear." -"The Body," Stephen King
