the problem
             a problem he realised a long time ago is prevalent and persistent and unwarranted it seems an obsession that people have that they have to ask others what they think he or she ought to do that theyfor some odd reason have to be told or assured what their mind is what they should do


whether position or status whether professional or personal  they bear strictures and responsibilitiesobligations that we know that we understand

when he went to dinner he didnt ask his date or whoever he was eating with what he should order

perhaps simplisticyes
                        however one knows what theyre supposed to do Do it Dont ask permission or questions in order to perform your assigned designated responsibilities


too often hed been asked  What do you think?

blandlynearly blithely he responded I know you know what youre supposed to do Dont ask me Im not flattered you have



do what you know youre supposed to do

precedent exists

if someone wants to change the rules

you better damnwell ask why ask them their reasons 

if their reasons arent good enoughthey dont convince you call them out

if need be go over their heads


challenge their authority


hed been doing it since he was a boy



he was called cantankerous
                              how could he not wear that as a stripe of honour

he was cantankerous

Thank you hed reply
