Why do we need to know the reason why?. Is it our innate curiousity as beings of this planet and this time where everything is questioned and doubted?. I say it is the latter; I say it is our inability to take things as they are, knowing they will never be enough to satiate our thirst for more. We are creatures of curiousity and creatures of change; The same landscape bores us to the point of sickness and nausea.
We seek new horizons and new answers. 'Why' is our favourite word and our preferred argument to use for everything. We ask questions about why we are here, and questions about if we even exist, or 'are' in a manner of speaking. We do not see animals having a mid-life crisis or having a nervous breakdown...it is only a human thing. Or perhaps a thing of more evolved beings...of beings that reach for the stars and always have since the discovery of the telescope; Our sights are fixed on that which is infinite and eternal as our very minds and ideas.
We particularly question that which has been supposedly set in stone; Which the very waves of time take away with them. Nothing lasts forever, not even the laws of humankind or their deities. Things are either consumed by fire or consume themselves...that is the answer to one of the 'Why's'. Things are as they are because we in general have made them so...not because they simply popped into existence. It takes intent and unity to create or destroy something; We are,after all, gods ourselves.((And no...I am not trying to be all New-Age-y, thank you))
