when beings operate mainly on illogics, they are unable to
conceive of valid reasons for things or to see that effects are directly caused by things they themselves can
control. The inability to observe and find an
actual usable why is the downfall of beings and activities. This is factually the why of people not finding
whys and using them. The
prevalence of historical
man's
use of "
fate," "
kismet (
fatalism),"
superstition, fortune
telling, astrology and
mysticism confirms this.
Having forgotten to keep seed
grain for the
spring, the farmer starves the
following year and when asked why he is starving says it is the gods, that he has sinned or that he failed to make sacrifice. In
short, unable to think he says "the why is
God."
