All the change for the better that’s happened in our world, is because people simply asked.

Why am I a slave, and not free like the white man? Cried the blacks in America, even as they were aware of a constitution stating, all men were equal, even as they saw white people walking into church every Sunday, to hear a message of compassion, and a few hours later seeing those same members using a whip on their backs!

Why? They asked.

And when the asking of those questions became known to others, those same others also joined them in asking. But it had to start with one person asking to inspire a leader like Lincoln, and equality becoming a law for the nation.

Why are we not given equal voting rights? Cried the women of America not even a hundred years ago. For centuries women were thought of as ones not equipped to understand politics, not equipped with a brain equal to men, and so at the voting booth, only their husbands and fathers voted, while they stayed back at home, and sewed, or cooked or all the things men felt they were equipped to do, till one bold woman cried, “Why?”

Why can’t we vote?

Not only did they, after much intense argument and debate, get their right to vote, but from that one asking, they got the right to lead, and soon there’s a good possibility that America might be led by a woman president.

But someone had to ask.

Why don’t ships fall off the edge of the earth? Asked Copernicus and Galileo, and proved that the earth was round.       

Why can’t we fly? Asked the Wright brothers and airplanes today have made the world a hundred nay a thousand times smaller, with the speed of getting from one place to another.

What would have happened if we had never asked? Well, the wheel wouldn’t have been invented, nor the quill, nor writing and you wouldn’t be here asking such a question, because remember, asking doesn’t exist and most probably language.

Asking for what you feel is right, has kept the world moving and also balanced. But to ask isn’t easy. To ask, requires courage to face ridicule, anger, and brutal action to suppress dissent from those in authority.

And that will always be the case, whether it is government or religious heads. They hate to be asked, because asking means being questioned and those in authority hate questions.

But it is through questions that answers come: Why is there such a contradiction between the Biblical story of Creation and scientific data about how the world began, I asked, and with that I’ve started my next book, ‘Tsippy’s Story!’

And you young people who work for these multinationals, do you ask, “Why do I slog 24/7?”

I wish you would before you land up dead like a youngster just did.

Dare to ask..!
