The Y

Y "The Y"? For 3 reasons.
First, the sound effect. Y is pronounced in the same way as "why", and it looks waaaayyyyy cooler in a blog title than "The Why". Ok, maybe not, but I prefer it like it is.
The second reason, and maybe the most important of all, is "why". It is not a mere word. And not just another question, when used in combination with "?". "Why?" is the question! "Why are we here?"; "Why are cancer cells a pain in the ass?" (I apologize to those of you who suffer of rectal cancer); "Why did the chicken cross the street?"... These are just some of the most important question posed by Man, and I could be here all night long mentioning some more... But you can also use a simple "Why?" to question everything. And with that, you search for the reason behind things, you try to understand why things are what they are, or/and how they came to be. Or maybe you're trying to understand the motivation of someone for doing something. For example, why does a girl spend a whole afternoon with a guy, having a good time, knowing that he likes her but having absolutely no interest in him? More than asking "Who?", "Where?" or "When?", you first need to ask "Why?".
And that leads me to the third and final reason. Like a child, I still ask "Why?" all the time. To everyone. To everything. Because of everyone and everything. And usually, I don't get an answer, but I won't quit just because people are curious or because they don't know what leads them to do what they do.
Thus, no other name would be more appropriate to this blog than "The Y".
And with this, I'll stop posting for today. Why? I have to take a shower...
