Why?

Who
What
When
Where
Why?

Five descriptors
Five attributres that explain everything

Who did it?
What did she do?
When did she do it?
Where here did she do it?
Why did she do it?

All are statements of fact
That can be proven empiricly.

All, that is, except "Why?"

"Why" is a step removed from fact
It is conjeecture
It is a conclusion
It depends upon logic and intuition.
It is subject to bias and illusion.

In the end, it is an opinion
It cannot be proven
It is not definitive
Answering "why?" is an exercise in futility.

So, knowing this
Why do I torture myself by wanting to know

Why?
