Ask Yourself: Getting Back To Being Your Brother's Keeper by Felicia Benton questions our sense of correctness. Even if we ensure that our approach or behavior is correct, we do not bother to question the effect our actions have on those around us. By examining common, regular occurrences in our midst, Felicia attempts to show that human nature does not include examining the appropriateness of the action for the collective good, unless we make an effort to do so. We have to introduce necessary changes to bring even our unconscious acts under this test – is it against the common good? If so we need to make changes.
Ask Yourself: Getting Back To Being Your Brother's Keeper by Felicia Benton introduces certain lofty questions. All the chapters of this book are directed more or less towards the collective good and Felicia’s exhortation to everyone is also appropriately themed. I have a question. Isn’t this based on the dictum that ‘man is expected to be leading a social life and, individual existence is incidental to it’? Supposing we think otherwise, such as, ‘man is essentially an individual being and social life is secondary to it’, wouldn’t our behavior, actions and approaches appear right? But for this question, I found this book echoing the sentiments expressed by many a social reformer, ‘no one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.’ The author has provided a good set of questions for self examination, a simple one being ‘those outside of you do not have to suffer the consequences of your actions.’
