Why.... "why?" a words worth !

Hello Fellow steemians - a quick introduction - I am Irene - @GreenIrene, a very curious character who thankfully never outgrew the annoying toddler habit of asking WHY?

Todays, thought as I sat down to begin the daily ritual was - why why?

I mean, quite frankly this little three letter english word has had the power to shake my world unlike any other creature of being! That being said - I did a search ,

According to philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein ...

this is a language game we engage in as small children to learn causality or the cause and effect of things. As adults, the “Why?” continues to play a significant role in our understanding.
Causality is one of the foundations of our conceptual knowledge - one of the remaining primal ways our brain functions- a PRIORI - meaning they are independent of experience—they’re the innate structures of the human mind.

In other words: "WE ARE PROGRAMMED THIS WAY"

It's in our nature if you will - to ask "why".

IMMANUEL KANT German Philosopher wrote:

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another."

More words to follow - in the meantime...
