Pour mon malheur, le questionnement grâce auquel je me suis fait un nom dans la presse écrite, à la radio…
et à la télévision, s'est étendu à ma vie privée. Je souffre d'une maladie chronique que j'appelle la "questionnite". Son symptôme est évident, identifié de tous mes proches : je n'arrête pas de leur poser des questions. Je ne peux pas m'en empêcher. C'est plus fort que moi. C'est une seconde nature. Je suis en état de perpétuelle curiosité. Et de manque si je n'arrive pas à la satisfaire. Je ne suis pas le type qui se contente d'un machinal "Comment vas-tu ?". Je veux savoir. Quoi ? Peu importe, je veux savoir. Toute personne détient de grands et de petits secrets qu'elle n'entend pas divulguer, mais que mes questions peuvent l'amener à avouer. Il n'y a pas d'homme ou de femme sans double fond. Sans mystères, sans cachotteries, sans arrière-pensées. Moi, j'en ai. Beaucoup. Heureusement, je ne suis jamais tombé sur un loustic comme moi qui vous bombarde de questions et qui, à la longue, devient insupportable. 2012.By Charles Lynch. 1983
