Stop Asking Questions

Questions are valuable.

Without any questions, we wouldn’t see anything beyond what we already know.

But the thing about questions is, when you ask too many, you get stuck.

Why did my father leave us?
Why did my sister have to die?
Why doesn’t anyone help that homeless man?
Why don’t people get treated fairly in an age where equality is such a big deal?
Why is the court system so corrupt?
Why are there earthquakes?
Why isn’t there any healing?
Why am I even here?

How do you love people who are in a place where they are supposed to bring justice to the people without the freedom to speak for themselves?
How do you penetrate such a mighty fortress that is layered with hatred, bitterness, anger and disappointment?
How do you love someone who gives people punishment beyond what is required, just because he thinks they deserve it?

You stop asking questions.

Stop asking the questions that hinder you from making changes.

Don’t ask
            How do you love the man who brings injustice?
Ask
            Why should I love the man who brings injustice?


Changing the face of the question will change the face of the man.
