Why

"Why" is a call to bring light to the roots of a phenomenon, be it physical or abstract. One encounters a new object, a new concept, an event, and one finds it separate from one's own tree of understanding. One finds no clear path from what he does understand onto the phenomenon, and this new perception is now separate, fragmented away from what one knows. Innately, knowing that all is inherently one, the seeker knows there is a continuous path from his current coherent version of reality onto this new form, and seeks to unite them by exploring the origin, the source, the roots of this new part, and proceeds to explore the branches that may unite them. The hope of the life, of the seeker, is to unite, and thus harmonize, his separate parts, both to maintain harmony and coherence, and to shed light into those unknown branches that connect them, and that he does not yet know.

The "Why" is the search for a common ancestor between multiple disconnected sub-trees in our tree of understanding.
