FabSwingers.com forum: The why question

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

As a reasonably articulate and educated individual I usually make my point and explain it.

Inevitably the next post takes the initial point , ignores the explanation and then asks , about the original statement, "why?"

It often reminds me of when my son was young and I would explain that it is dangerous to cross the road without looking because he could be run over.

"Why daddy?"

I would offer an additional explanation to him in _iew of his age. I don't bother with adults.

Anyone else exasperated with the why question?

Please don't resort to the obvious reply.

reply and another one liner agreeing with previous post. Then I got bored

My time is to important to waste explaining to oiks why my point of _iew is always the only correct one.

Inevitably?

No I'm not exasperated with it

But I don't mind clarifying an opinion because I recognise that I may not have expressed it clearly in the first place.

TUC.

It's always good form to assume that the error in communication is your own fault and not the misunderstanding of others.

Investigate a little further and you will see that I asked the op a why question previously. Silly me! I thought we were in the forum to discuss

Honestly, anyone who asks a question wanting to learn should be rewarded with the answer, ideally in a manner that they will understand.

However as soon as the person demonstrates that they are not listening or trying to understand, then I rapidly turn to why bother....

When I was doing work based training to train others one thing always stuck with me - it isn't their understanding that is the problem, it's your explanation.

You're not that educated or articulate , you just think you are. I would suggest you take a leaf out of your sons book and start asking questions so you can educate yourself instead of presuming that you know it all.

I couldn't get exasperated with a word but it's one of those questions that I find very important. I have to use the 'Why?' question in my work on a daily basis and the answers are what structures a particular result.

'Why' can often be a challenging question to answer but can often help drive our personal lives.
