It’s always wise to wonder why.
And depending on the circumstances
sometimes it’s a good idea to ask.
When you ask why you should do this thing that someone says you must do
you may be given an answer that seems to makes sense
or you may be given an answer that does not.
If you’re given an answer that makes sense to you
you still may not want to do this thing.
That is up to you.
You can still do what you want to do
and simply pay the price.
On the other hand
if you’re given an answer that does not seem to make sense
you might wonder if maybe the blindness is yours, not theirs.
It may be a good idea in that case
to wait
to see if your eyes are opened.
But if you are told
that you must do this thing
because it is the thing that all people do
and that you are expected to do it
then if you decide to do it
for no better reason than that
you will also pay a price, but of a different kind.
