Sometimes Simplicity Is The Answer Regardless Of The Question!
Life is complicated! It generates questions about purpose and meaning. It generates questions about direction and destiny. It generates questions about happiness and sadness. Questions, questions, questions! They abound!
Learning to craft really good questions is an art. Most of the time we ask questions in order to receive answers or shed light on a situation. At other times we ask questions to dodge truth, deflect focus or defend wrong. Whether questions are short or long, complex or simplistic, profound or ludicrous, they all seek the same thing – Answers!
The answers we give are almost as confusing! Sometimes we believe that in order to answer a question, it must be complicated or detailed.
In all reality, Sometimes Simplicity Is The Answer Regardless Of The Question!
Want a few examples of Simple Answers? Here they are:
- Yes
- No
- I will
- I won’t
- I did it
- I did not do it
- I apologize
- I was wrong
- You were right
- I should have
- You should go/stay
- I love you
See how simple these answers are? Imagine what might happen if we answered all questions with simple, straightforward, to-the-point answers! Imagine!
But you ask, “Mark, how likely is this to happen?”
My answer? “Not Very” . . . However, there is always hope!
Peace!
