(inspired by @andrew_forrest, pastor @MungerPlace church, Dallas.)
Everyone has heard the old mantra "shoot first, ask questions later." It's funny but God forbid we're ever put in a real life situation where we're forced to make this choice.
If you don't take the saying literally, however, and more as a metaphor for a way to live life, it can serve you well.
You see, in life we tend to ask too many questions when we should just be taking action. In other words, maybe we shouldn't be so concerned about why we should be doing certain things we know are good for us and/or society as a whole and more concerned about how we can go about doing them.
It's good to be curious but at some point the questions have to stop and the action has to start.
Sometimes parents use the generic answer "Because I said so" to an overly-curious child who won't stop asking why. It's a give up answer but at times the right one.
So why should you go out and do things you know in your heart are good for you and society as a whole?
Because I said so. :-)
Have a great week!
