The problem with asking

Man staring at a wall of post-it notes

The problem with asking is that my boss didn’t ask me if $20 per-hour was enough to take care of my family.

The problem with asking is that I didn’t ask my wife if it was okay to sleep with my mistress.

The problem with asking is that my priest didn’t ask me if it was okay to manipulate me into donating “charitably” to “the church”.
