Here's
the
Answer
Don't bother me with Questions
You are an expert in nineteenth-
century art. At a garage sale you
spot a small oil painting in a
cracked frame. The price is $5.
You are certain that it is the
work of a minor master of the
period, worth tens of thousands
of dollars. You could legally pay
the $5. without disclosing the
painting's worth.
You run a small business making
infants' clothing. 100 families in a
depressed area depend on you for a
living. A government agency discovers
that the flameproofing ingredient used
on your fabrics is carcinogenic —your
entire inventory is banned from sale in
the USA. The government of a neigh-
boring country imposes no such
restrictions on infants' clothing. You
could sell the garments there and save
your business.
Do you buy and run?
What do you do?
Your son, a high-school junior,
has a term paper due on Tuesday.
Early Tuesday morning, he tells
you that he has not finished writing
it. He asks you to call him in sick
so that he can finish the paper and
hand it in on Wednesday without
being penalized.
He says:
Everyone does it. You want me
to be the only one playing by the
rules?
1 need this grade so 1 can get
into a decent college.
Anyway, who does it hurt?
And what do you say?
There's nothing wrong with wanting
the best for ourselves and our children.
But at what cost?
These days, don't we all fear that
as a society we have lost our ability to
use what we know in a responsible
and ethical way?
We've been blarning the schools and TV
and corporate America. We have to look
a little closer to home.
Every day each of us faces conflicts and
confusion, temptation and the fear of
seeming a sucker—tough decisions
with no easy answers.
If we shared our moral dilemmas with
the people we care about, it might make
a difference in the choices we make.
If our children heard us discussing
moral issues, then perhaps they, too,
would start asking questions.
Learning to ask the difficult questions—
learning to make responsible judgments—
is the most important kind of education.
It begins at home.
It has always been hard to balance temptation
and ethical living, and there have always
been sources of help.
Every enduring tradition has ways of thinking
about the right and wrong of things.
For example, Jewish tradition grapples with
a whole range of issues—labor relations,
deceptive business practices, slander, entrapment,
among others.
Often there are more questions than answers,
but the simple act of asking the questions
changes and enriches lives.
It is not too late to learn.
As Yom Kippur approaches with its burden of hard
questions, we at the Jewish Theological Seminary
wish all our friends a year of success
and thoughtful living.
* "Oh, son of Lakish, where are you?" Thus Rabbi Johanan mourned the master who used to challenge him with question after question.
