We need to learn how to think and exercise our intelligence and come to a correctly reasoned out conclusion and decide what to do and to do it. We gather all the premises regarding the issue and ask for help or advice from knowledgeable people to guide us in the process. The issue the Lord brings up in the gospel today is what is to do on the Sabbath. His listeners were paralyzed in committing themselves to a stand in reply Jesus' question. It all boiled down to being simple and straightforward in concluding that it was fine to do on the Sabbath good actions to help the others.
