Why?

Such a common question: Why?

It sparks the beginning to the search for reason. Each time it demands an explanation, it opens up its subject and lays it bare to scrutiny.

Why are leaves green? Why are skies blue? Why do birds chirp? Why do men burp? Wh7y is the world round?

What happens though, when why does not lead to an answer?

Why do we live? Why do we feel? Why does fire burn? Why why?

Times exist when reasoning leads to a logical dead end. The boundaries of common sense exist and there may be moments when we find ourselves crossing it. At such times, the question why becomes impossible to answer.

Why is such a question that needs common sense. It cannot and will not do with anything that defies it. Thus we outline our sanity by constantly asking why. To remind ourselves of our state of mind.

So why keep asking why? Because without it, we'll run around as meager mindless mechanations without reason. Without why, we'll be crazy.
