That's Just the Way It is.

I think there are really many things in life that just are because that is the way it is. Children tend to be curious a lot and ask the question "why" a lot. It is a word that they commonly use. However, often times, there is no good explanation. It is just the way it is. Do you find that you come to this conclusion, that there is no explanation and just have accepted things over time?

That is life is the perfect way to describe things. There are just times where things make a lot of sense. Then things do not make all that much sense. Then it is somewhere in the middle. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I would have given this question as one of the best questions of today,had there been any thing like 'Best Question' on this forum! It is really an interesting and thought provoking one!
Basically answers given to what, why, which. where, when plus How forms a complete event to form, which is applicable to any and every thing of the life.
Yes kids they tend to ask out of curiosity about the new things and they ask what first then they gradually take the conversation towards 'why' which is definitely not possible to answer every time. This makes us to say that it is just the way it is. But do we find to know the answer?Not really because there are many why's in this nature which are not known to us. To know this why many saints have spent sleepless nights, many scientists in the past and even today are spending sleepless nights.
man would not be an evolved creature and wouldn't have occupied the top most position in the pyramid of evolution, if he was not interested in this question 'Why'?
This 'Why' makes every one curious, makes one to invent new things in life, makes one to investigate some thing in life, makes every one revolving around the mystery of this universe, why are we here basically and what is our role in this universe. why there are trees around us, if they are there why they are green and why not red or other coloured. Why birds fly and fish swim in water. Why elephants have trunk and alligators have strong jaws?
At the end I would say it is for this 'Why' only today the human being got advanced and still he will go a long way in search of the answer to get answers for this unending question 'why', which can be prefixed before any phenomenon that occurs in this nature!
Thanks for invoking such a fantastic and thought provoking question! Thanks !

Curiosity is truly a wondrous thing is it. It gets us thinking sometimes as well. Perhaps there could be some answers found. I think that there are many questions that are answered, many discoveries that are made, based off of one simple word, "why". It is amazing how one simple word can lead us down the path of discovery. Of course, we can learn much, even if we don't get a clear answer a lot of the times and some things might not be fully explained, but we might stumble across something else. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
