Hmmmmm. Changing ourselves. Changing (saving?) the world . . .
How do we do it?
Obviously, there are many ways to contribute . . . one of them is to start asking “WHY??”
We’re an intelligent species (theoretically). With this gift of ‘critical thinking capability’ we tend to ask, “HOW” . . . and move forward in:
- discovering
- constructing
- engineering
- modifying
- teaching
And it’s all well and good, because, hey, if we can ‘come to understand’ we’ve got even greater potential to create change!
The challenge, though, is that we seem to get fixed on ‘HOW??!!’
. . . And often fail to ask, “WHY??”
“WHY????!!!!”
WHY are we discovering/constructing/engineering/modifying/teaching all that we are?
WHY is ‘WHY’ so important?
Because ‘WHY’ enables us to answer the equally important “WHAT?”
WHAT is the effect going to be on our long-term health?
WHAT is it’s effect going to be on all species of the world?
WHAT is it’s effect going to be as the future unfolds tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? 5, 10, 50, 500 years from now?
‘HOW?’ is great.
‘WHY?’ is even more critical.
And if we ask ‘WHY?’ a bit more, we might just modify a few of our thoughts/our actions/our choices . . .
and actually Save The World (and Ourselves).
Thanks for reading!
