Today has been another of 'those' days. Once more, I'm left pondering and unsure of how you can be this way. Of how your thought process can be so daft as to continuously bring you to the same and seemingly almost only point of conflict - Why?
Once upon a time, 'why?' was thought to be a magnificent aspect of life, all the curiosities of the world, wanting to understand, wanting to learn more, hungry for information, whether it be useful or not, constantly needing to know. A truly wonderful trait in children.. however its becoming more and more apparent that it is indeed not a wonderful trait in adults.
Perhaps it has something to do with the things we feel we need to know that answer to are no longer as simple as 'Why do Eskimos live in igloos?'. Venturing into the unknown, even more complex than a sound understanding of astrophysics, why is it that we still find ourselves still asking that same question over and over again? We ask it of ourselves, of others and of situations.. all of which can be interpreted in grossly disfigured manners depending on our own state of mind and that of others at the time.
Why is that when you ask 'why?', your thoughts then lead you to wonder why it is that you're still asking 'why?'. The question itself is sickeningly recurring and disgustingly rhetorical at times. Yet still, even knowing this, you continue to lead yourself in circles. When does curiosity become a sense of need instead of a sense of wonder and excitement? How then do we stop or even forbid ourselves asking that one question?
Why don't you have the answers to 'why'?
