Why?

What a great question this is... it's great because it is a question of justification, and its greatness is paralleled only by the futility of wanting an answer to it.

Why... There's always a "because" whether or not you want to believe it. It's the karmac regulator. It's the indication that there is a balance in the universe. There will be an opposite and equal reaction as dictated by the laws of science. What science fails to explain is how that reaction will arise, whether or not it will be in our lifetimes, or even directly applicable to our lives. Hell, the balance might occur three generations later with your great great grandchildren. They'll be wondering what they did to deserve whatever is happening to them. It was you, and they'll never know.

Why tries to keep us honest. It's us that lies, to ourselves and the people in our lives. And also, some people are honorless but get by in a society that values Mercedes Benzes over personal integrity.

One day, I will buy a Mercedes SL55 AMG. I will take that marvel of engineering and I will drive it into a wall. Because in the end, that's how much that matters.
