Trying to Make sense
Throughout time Man's quest has been trying to make sense of it all.
Whether its Nature, Birth, Sickness or even an eye twitch.
We as humans are driven from within with an innate need to connect the dots. To find a meaning to everything. To find a rationale that explains it all, a Grand theory that explains all things.
At times our urge was so strong and lead us to some of the greatest discoveries, and most of the time it did not.
Many of us grew up learning that the virtue of asking "WHY" is far more important than asking "WHAT". Its almost like we assumed no significance to knowing things if we only could know Why they are what they are.
As children, we were taught to ask questions. It was claimed to be a sign of intelligence.
Smart Kids ASK QUESTIONS, and then in turn, ANSWER them. Or as one of my childhood teacher said, only those who know some, know that there is more to ask about.
So,
WHY do people fear connecting with others, yet crave it?
WHY is math so easy for me, but "knock, Knock," jokes are very hard?
WHY do we hurry to get somewhere, but once we are there we feel lost?
and the Grand daddy of all:
WHY ask WHY ????
