Good Morning,
Children are so inquisitive. If you now have or have had children, you know this is a fact. They barrage us with the question Why? We answer the question and the next word out of their mouths is Why? This goes on and on until, as my wife used to say "Because I said so!!" to end the questioning.
As adults, it seems that we have forgotten the Why question. Maybe we heard the "Because I Said So." answer so much, we no longer ask.
Today, we, at neighborhood,local, state, and national levels hear people telling us what to believe. We are told it is "fact"; it is "proven science, or "do not doubt me, I have credentials, I know it to be true."
I think it is high time we quit blindly accepting what people tell us, go back to our childhood and start asking Why, and keep asking Why, just like that child until all of the facts are on the table and we can determine for ourselves what is true, what we should believe, and what is, as we used to call it "hogwash".
We are blessed with brains that can think, learn, and reason allowing us to make intelligent informed decisions. It is time we, once again, use them.
Jim
