Good Monday Morning all my friends.

Why? Why am I here? Why did I do that? Why did that happen? Why hasn’t that happened? Why did he or she do that? Why do we have wars? Why do we have peace?

We all ask ourselves a “Why” question or a dozen every day. Then we occupy the following moments trying to explain to ourselves why we asked why, and come up with a plausible explanation of why. “Why” is puzzle that demands solving, and in many cases the “Why” of something is beyond our ability to explain. That doesn’t stop us from answering every “Why” with something that fits our mind set at that moment. If we didn’t come up with a convincing answer for “Why”, would we get stuck? Is that why we create an answer that satisfies us whether it is correct or not?

Look up a Mobius Strip in a dictionary or on line. It is a one-sided loop of paper. The ultimate “Why”. We can never say exactly where we started drawing a “Why” line on a Mobius, only that with one of our first conscious thoughts we started a never ending “Why”. Circular logic completes a “Why” answer to a “Why” question. Our mental process demands connection and completeness. Is that “Why” we are irritated when we are incapable of answering someone else’s “Why” to their satisfaction? Is that “Why” the group mind is only partly happy with the consensus answer for “Why”?

Our lives seem consumed with discovery of the ultimate “Why” answer for an ultimate “Why” question that will universally satisfy every one’s perception of “Why”, immediately and forever. “Why” do we even think that is possible?

“Why” am I writing this? “Why” must you ask?

Why not have a great week.

Sincerely;

Steven L. Johnson
