Bamidbar: Whatever

"Whatever" is not just lazy thinking, it is plain mediocrity. Not to say that those using the word are mediocre. Rather, the prevalence of the word symbolizes a deep erosion of inner confidence and value of our instincts. Sort of a collective mediocrity has crept into our lives. A communal resignation is simmering beneath the surface of our battle scarred lives, inundated with images we are asked to buy into.
So begin counting: how many times do you use "whatever" in your conversation?
Perhaps the "whatever" epidemic is a wake-up call that the time has come to begin rebuilding our inner selves. To reclaim our self-confidence, to discover our inalienable sacred self -- and communicate it.
So, whatever you're doing, even if y'know where you're headed, take a moment and transform your "whatever" into substance and "y'know" into focus.
What's my point?
Whatever…
