This is a response to the one-word prompt “Blindly” by “The Daily Post.”
Everyone, well maybe not everyone, but most everyone knows of the danger of rushing into something blindly and not knowing the “whole picture.” Yet, at the same time “going in blindly” is prevalent all across human civilization and history. It is especially prevalent, in today’s modern word.
As soon as we see a problem, no matter what it is, there is at once calls to “go in and fix it” without really stopping to look at the problem and analyze it, to figure out why the problem exists. As humans, we do not like to wait to solve our problems, we just want them to go away. Thus, we will often go with the first most obvious solution to do so even when we have no reason to believe it will work, except that it offers the quickest and easiest “fix.”
As long as we humans remain an inpatient bunch; that can’t control our impulses, the problems that we as societies and as individuals face each and every day will continue to repeat and only get worse throughout time and history as has been the case so far. If we really wanted to “fix” our problems, we would stop looking for the quick and easy path and actually try to “solve” the problems that pop up as they pop up.
