The Question

 

"It is not only what we have inherited that exists again in us but all sorts of dead old ideas and beliefs.  They are not actually alive in us but they are dormant and we can never be rid of them.  There must be ghosts all over the world."
~ from the play Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen

 We are all haunted by the past and the people who lived in it; all the things we never said, all the questions we never asked, all the answers we never gave; the things we did and the things we didn't do, the love we gave and the love we withheld, the feelings we expressed and the ones we didn't even know we had.  
We thought there would always be time for all that, we thought we would live forever and there would always be time because we would never die.

"The Question," first broadcast by CBS Radio Mystery Theater on November 5, 1980.
