Why?

Have you ever been told not to ask the question why? This three-letter word has been the source of a great deal of contention. Why, is an entire question within itself. Some people see it as being rude to ask why when in reality you are seeking more knowledge and clarity. There are religious people that will tell you that you should never question God by asking, why? If one were to pause for a moment, the realization is that when you get an answer to the question of why there is a new opportunity to understand and learn something new. Why also has the ability to raise someone’s awareness and can provoke thought into topic areas that may have never been considered? Just for the sake of kicks and giggles; check out this list of why to determine if you know the answer or at least makes you pause to think for a moment.
