Asking the Right Questions Verses Responding for the Wrong Reasons

Life Talk with Craig Lounsbrough

Too often we don't take the time to really ask why we support what we're supporting. We get swept up in some energizing movement, or we're utterly captivated by some cause. Something feels inherently good and the premise that drives it appears sound. We find that an army of people have raced to the forefront of this cause, or it's embraced as long overdue, or it appears right for the times.

But in all of that, do we ask the larger questions? Do we ask if there is some underlying issue that's bigger than the cause that prompted it? Is there more here than just the excitement of the moment or the rallying cry of the population? Do we proceed with a wisdom that will solve the larger issues, or will we just perpetuate all of those by running amuck in lesser things? Change is needed. But if it is not thoughtful change, nothing will change.
