What-if

‘What if’ - a way to learn or to conflict?

One must be very conscious while using ‘What if’.

It is a very hypothetical question, and when it is attached to some historical event, it's almost a story to embarrass, blame and fault finding.

When it is about learning from mistakes, it is progressive. It improves different thinking functions.

Yet, what if, is very much in use in the media to conflict and blame; especially where one has no responsibility or accountability. The facts are the most deceitful and illusionary. They are almost narrowed by the view, opinion and perception of the narrator.

The person who is narrating it has their own side and missed to empathize with the other’s side; intention carries a question mark.

What-if is a tool to validate and explore with creativity and apprehension. In the words of Edward de Bono, it works as a black and green hat. Black hat to assess and green to explore an idea.

Use it to explore and avoid it, to conflict.
