The ability to question is perhaps the highest form of consciousness. Without it, the next level of any narrative form would cease, and no prompting of a search for an answer will develop.
That is why effective trial work — from persuasive direct examinations to devastating cross-examinations, guided by pointedly-prepared questioning — requires thoughtfulness and contemplated direction. Some questions, however, become avenues for paralysis. They may, for a time, help to ease the troubles of one’s soul, but they are ultimately unanswerable ones which cannot be comprehended in the limited universe of one’s mind.
Thus, when a Federal or Postal employee who suffers from a medical condition asks the question,”Why?” — it is legitimate, but one which may not have an adequate answer. One must instead progress to a more pragmatic question: What to do about it. Where to go from here. The “why” may need to be left aside, for another time, during a more contemplative period of recuperation.
For Federal and Postal workers, time itself can be a critical factor, and in preparing, formulating and filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, whether under FERS or CSRS, because the bureaucratic process itself is a long and complicated one, it may be of benefit to set aside some questions, and instead focus upon the pragmatic questions which set one upon a path of purposive direction.
The height of man’s consciousness may be the result of evolutionary factors, but the most fundamental of questions should begin with that primitive foundation of all: self-preservation.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
