A while ago a friend told me about an essay question a professor put on a test once. It simply said "Why?". There were a wide variety of answers, and the one that received the highest mark was the simplest and bravest answer: Why not? However, I wish to answer this question in my own way.
Why? Why would someone do something? Why would something happen? Those are the two whys I can find that more or less encompass the entirety of the question. Why would someone do something? The negatives of these are also important; it's because you want or value something, and want to attain or protect it. Motivation, in other words. Why would something happen? A collection of events, rules, chance, and decisions (informed or uninformed). Things happen because of the factors involved, no one (not even god, if you believe in one) is planning all of it.
So, why? Because there is a goal, because or there is no goal. Everything else is just the specifics.
