Ask why ... It is an almost unnoticed rivulet of enquiry that can lead to a torrent of understanding. an ember to ignite a vast blaze of discernment Ask why ... not a statement, not a command, nor a suggestion, it is a bridge spanning a chasm between what is and what could be Ask why ... it will stir up the cobwebs of complacency **** at the known routine, lay naked hidden motives habit and convention are shaken Ask why ... it forces excavation of purpose. gets to the very marrow of impetus it clarifies, it challenges, dismantles Ask why ... it insists on lighting the murky shadows enquires, at the foundation of reason it is the beginning of a quiet revolution
