The questions you ask

I was reading a book today that made an interesting comment about our current culture:
"we live by a philosophy that seldom asks 'why' questions and most often simply asks 'what' questions.

Now as you read this you may think, "Yeah! So what?"

If we focus on the WHAT question, we become efficient and productive. We just don't know what the goal is, and have no means of evaluating the value of our actions.

If we focus on the WHY question, we move beyond day to day living. We consider our purpose. We can evaluate if an action is moral, worthy or worthwhile.

The WHY questions slows us down. We stop acting (we are incredibly good at time management) and we seek to understand WHO we are as humanity, HOW we are meant to interact, WHERE we should spend our time and WHAT action we should then take.

Now I believe we must discuss spiritual matters. It is part of the WHY questions. Now you may dismiss God and following Christ, but at least you will know why. Too many people put the issue on the backburner and go back to WHAT they were doing?

This blog aims to challenge us with how we think about life. I want to interact with a whole range of issues. And it will all start with the WHY question.

I hope that you'll have a read and interact. Help me in my thinking as I help you in yours.
