Why Is It Always Why?

The nature of mankind is inquisitive. It's an intrinsic characteristic, and unless it is stifled by some force acting on our personality and mind, it will be a part of who we are as individuals. And I think it is always there even if stifled. I picture it like one of the species of frog or turtle that lies underneath the ground in a state of suspended animation for long periods of time until it is brought back to activity when water reaches it in its appointed time. It's there, but it needs that spark to spring back to life. And, I see this inquisitiveness filling out a broad spectrum from a casual and occasional whimper of why, to a thunderous God speaking to Moses on the mountain type of attention demanding quest to know why. Now I think this variety of intensity of why certainly relates to the variances of people and personalities. And in my case my why-range dances out on the spectrum where the crescendo can at times be deafening. So, not surprisingly, I've got to know why! "Because I say so" just never fit in my kit.



And so...off we go as if to know, and if you get there first don't let me know. As you may have guessed, I must try and figure out why you were able to get there first.
