(#6364) Learning the how of why!

      It doesn't matter what the process, asking why is the first step. That way we can learn the how of it. If by then it makes sense then keep doing that process. If not then stop and change whatever is troubling about the process. Like most of us we see a troubling part of a process and want to change it but are too often faced with forces that do not want the process, whatever it is, to change. So then the question of why they don't want to change the troubling process emerges, and begins a new question of why. One why question about how a process works does wonders for our ability to think of ways that make it better if needed. From there we use our creativity to brainstorm a different and more effective solution.
     That is how logic works as well. We see something that can be improved upon and then go about the process of actually correcting the problem. If only our society would be rational about making things better for all instead of only making things better for some. I understand the dynamic of how you compromise your principles for some individual advantage but for me that is not honor nor a noble intent. It seems that honor and noble intent is not a value like riches and fame but that is in the eye of the beholder. My rationale for trying to be the best of what humanity has to offer is greater than my mere existence. I don't know the why of my existence but I won't compromise what it does mean to me.
     I know that is a bit cryptic but it makes perfect sense to me. It is all about what ifs, if you can allow me the consideration. That is me though. For all of us the better of our natures should be the rule and not the exception. Similar to the fairy tale call of the sirens causing the ships to crash on the rocks, the allure of wealth and fame is similar and just as infatuating. My values of learning and knowing stem from my insatiable curiosity. I want to know all there is within my ability to grasp the concepts. I admit I am not as sharp as I had hoped to be but I am not dull either. So as I keep questioning the why of things I continue to learn the how and that is where I can be useful when the how is insufficient to properly address all our needs.
