What to do? What to do?

What depends on who.

Where and when, depending on who, fall within what somewhere between constraint and freedom.

Once at what, why is extraneous regardless of who.

When who is empowered and when who believes what is a decided certainty, an extensive why is not allowed.

Why is not what. In what there are no questions, only rules. In why the questions are forever.

Why leads to understanding; and wisdom is nearby.

When who is empowered and when who is lazy, an extensive why is not allowed.

What eventually leads back to why, if only for a moment, after landing somewhere between progress and status quo.

Why and what should be balanced; with a decided emphasis on why.

Who should struggle with why first, then what.

To struggle with who is to disrespect why and delay what.

Experts should take charge of why and have a larger say in what.

Consensus leadership should shut up about why, have a smaller say in what and guide where and when.

Today consensus leadership is more interested in struggling with who.

Empowerment makes who lazy.

Of these 5 elements, who, what, where, when and why, who is the least important. Of the remaining four, why should initiate proceedings and (if possible) check in with what, where and when throughout the process.

Of these 5 elements, who, what, where, when and why, why is the most underutilized. But urgency and circumstance determine which one is most important in a given stage of the process and/or in a given moment.

One must decide, carefully and thoughtfully, when why is appropriate; there is no if – why is always appropriate; perhaps less so when what is a fait accompli, in which case why can quickly degenerate into who.

Even when what is in progress, and even though who is the least important, it is difficult to remove who from why, or what; or even where or when.

Progress is determined by why then what, guided and encouraged by where and when. In a spiritual sense, who is largely inconsequential. In a worldly sense, who may be substantial and who may intermittently become essential.

Still, of these 5 elements, who, what, where, when and why, who is the least important.
