Of Question and Answer
Why?
This has got to be the most asked and most frequent question used. And yet each and every time one asks 'why', it never ceases to pique one's interest.
It all started when we were growing up - being the inquisitive ignoramuses we were. Our parents, whom we mostly asked, would answer us to the best that they could.
But did you know that this question is very intrusive?
It is because it warrants an answer of truth.
Why are you here?
Why did you do that with him?
Why didn't you fight for his love?
Why are you blogging?
Why are you following this blogger?
Why did you unfollow?
Why do you bother going out with someone you know could not commit nor be exclusive?
Why do you have standards?
Why do you choose a trophy boyfriend?
You see the pattern? It always warrants a statement full of thought.
And so in questioning this, you get to know the person more albeit, in a personal/deeper manner but also yourself. If you would really want to discover yourself more and other people. Because sometimes we immediately act on impulse and we can't understand why. You see.
This question is also very accusing. It accuses you of acts done. Or not done but people still think otherwise.
Why did you break his heart?
Why are you asking me if I'm in love with your best friend?
Why did you sleep with another guy?
And admit it, one does not need an accusation of such. Benefit of the doubt as they say.
But who benefits from it, really?
For sometimes, reservations are of utmost discretion in order to protect either the interrogated or the interrogator.
But then again, why even bother trying to understand people who won't understand you?

Because we're human and we poke our heads into whatever we can? Why is such a big question.
ReplyDeleteI remember that in Psych Nursing, asking the question "why" would be a huge No No.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably due to the fact that it demands logical and moral reasoning when we already know it's wrong from the start.
People don't get angry for nothing. Often times, we get angry over things we don't fully understand or accept.
