‘Ever notice how “what the hell” is always the right answer?”

                                                  Marilyn Monroe

 

And why not? The answer begins with the question and comes full circle.

 

“What the hell” is an open-ended question. The intensity of the expression implies a breach of belief has already occurred: you witness something for the first time, someone shares a confidence and changes your perspective… “What the hell?” translated is: I need more information.

 

What the hell? As in, ‘what the hell just happened?’

 

What IN hell will also suffice as an appropriate question. Again, a request for more information. (Don’t worry your mind with where “Sam Hell” is for now.)

 

The challenge is to embrace the “answer” with the same enthusiasm as the question. Believe it, open to it; assimilate, alter, and adapt the information you get from the question into your consciousness and use it to make decisions—stronger decision, now.

 

“What the hell” is always the right question…and when a logical answer alludes you, “what the hell” is always an appropriate response.

 

No need for a “right” answer. No need to avoid a “wrong” answer. No need to take sides or play favorites. Do as Marilyn did–go with an ubiquitous response. Play ‘open and in need of convincing.’ Go with “what the hell.”
