Falling on Your Sword

  You should not fall on your sword for an issue you do not completely understand. We truly hope ·         You never heard of someone who died for a page of talking points. ·         You never heard of someone who went to the limit based on what a friend said. ·         You never heard of someone who gave all for a rumor. ·         You never heard of someone seeking the guru on high to ask about how the whales are doing. ·         You never heard of someone donating their fortune for a cause they merely think is good. Socrates* tells us to “Know thy self.” Let’s generalize words from this wisest of men to “Know thy issues, and know them well. Then commit.” *This aphorism is attributed to several ancients. Possibly, it was a common expression, even more ancient than the even the ancients.
