The ship out in the sea


C.S. Lewis gave this illustration that goes something like this.

A ship out in the sea must answer three basic questions:

1. Why is it out at sea in the first place?

2. How to keep it from sinking?

3. How to prevent bumping into other ships?

If the first question isn't answered then the rest aren't meaningful.

Do you know why you're out at sea in the first place?

Why are we out to sea in the first place? This brings to mind - intent prior to content. ;)
