Why? It’s something I hear people ask themselves a lot. Why me/now/did this happen? It’s usually about something small, something annoying. When something is taking too long, when a minor inconvenience occurs or even when someone learns something might not go as planned. Now, nobody usually expects an answer to these questions, but there is one: Just, because. Due to an incredible number of random influences and connections, actions of others who have no tangible connection to this situation have created a set of circumstances in which this outcome was possible. Now, depending on your personal beliefs, these circumstances may be luck, or they may be fate. Either way, the events that caused the “why” have already transpired with no way of reversing or changing them. Since nothing can be done, it could be inferred that nothing could have been done to prevent that question, whether by external influence or the random workings of the universe.
So, the next time you find yourself looking at something, or glancing skyward and muttering “Why?” under your breath, just remember this simple answer: Because. Just, because.
