just want to know, why?

do you ever find yourself in a position, where you simply must receive a reason for some event or occurrence? obviously this happens more frequently with the less someone knows about events or occurrences, but for today's rational, thinking man or woman, most things can be understood relatively quickly through the powers of logic.

if an earthquake occurs, any destruction or tragedy is a direct result of the earthquake, which is the result of an occasionally unstable planet that pretty well, does as it pleases. the same can be applied to the entire scope of "natural disasters".

if a neighbour wins the lottery, most will wonder, why not me? more often than not, this result is achieved by never having purchased a ticket in the first place. but for those that do play, and at least semi-consistently lay down wages you've earned on a group of random numbers, the answer is still fairly obvious: the odds are stacked heavily against everyone. with the amount of tickets sold paired with the range of randomness each number sequence is capable of, it falls in the lap of luck to determine the outcome... unless someone knows of a lottery corporation conspiracy that i don't?

but there are those few events in life, where all you want are answers, and there will be none provided. when a child becomes terminally ill with a disease, or syndrome or cancer for no discernible reason; when a psychotic brutally kills people then claims their hamster told them to do it, and we're told they're insane and that no one really knows why they committed those acts, but they're going away never to be heard from again; when a distant/anonymous relative passes, leaving you an unexpected inheritance without an explanation; or when someone you've invested your body, heart and mind in, abruptly changes their mind and decides that you're no longer suitable for their love.

sometimes we will just never know. this is especially true when dealing with the "free will" of a human brain.


it is interesting to note that when positive events occur, a great deal less time is spent questioning, why?
