Why ???

A question I've always pondered..."Why do we do what we do?" It is truly a mystery. I have a bachelors degree in Psychology, perhaps, in part, due to my fascination with that very question. I took an honors philosophy class in college as well. I've read many books, and thought deeply about this for years. So many explanations...and yet I ponder. There has been a lot thought provoking introspect through the centuries....

Agency is a fascinating concept, as well as cause and effect, nature vs. nurture, body vs. spirit, male vs. female, and the influence of a pre-mortal existence. Why, why, why.....? I stump myself on a regular basis. Why do I do, say, think and feel the way I do sometimes? How much can I change or am I to blame? What should I let go of? What should I hold on to? Knee jerk answers have evolved many times throughout my life into more questions. I think I know, only to realize things are what they seemed. The more I know the more I see how little I knew.

Perhaps the answer is more simple than philosophers, psychologists, scientist and theologists assert. Perhaps the only answer is simply.........because.
