Baby Blues
“Why?”
Because there is no final answer.
“Why?”
Baby Love, you’ll be much happier all your life if you never ask “why.”
While it’s true that cause and effect are a natural law,
It’s also true that every cause was once an effect.
There was a cause for the cause, with no beginning.
Do a little experiment for yourself.
Ask: “Why am I reading this?”
Because… I’m curious.
“Why am I curious?”
Because… I want to learn.
“Why do I want to learn?”
Because… because… because…
“Why is the tractor broken?”
Because… because… because…
“Why Am I so happy / unhappy?”
Because… because… because…
“Why did Aunt Minnie Lou come to visit yesterday?”
Because… Because…
Because… Ad infinitum
It’s the infinity of an eternal ad infinitum
That prevents us from ever finishing answering “why.”
Asking “Why” makes you go backward in time,
Which no longer exists, so you can’t change it.
Makes you imagine answers that are never true.
Makes you think you can “figger” it out.
Also, your memory is never accurate.
Life is the way it is, Now.
Far better to ask, “What’s next?”
That question sets your brain whirling
And spins you forward.
