On my commute this morning I started thinking about the word why. It is an interesting word.
I find that this word can cause wars, break up families, and create general havoc in anyones life. Asking why too much is a sin to some people, as we never ask it. Everything that is in the system for us to understand tells us to comply and reform, instead of question and respond. It can open painful wounds. It can destroy the soft fabrics of our rationalizations.
In those same three words you can find the inverse. Why is constructive when implemented with an open mind. It allows us to see our own flaws and build out ways to mitigate them. Instead of sitting on a world where people just react, we can respond to a crisis with enough knowledge about ourselves and the event to make an informed decision.
It takes courage to use the word, especially since it goes against most things we have learned since childhood. It is that courage, that gets us to our greatest potential.
