There are a gazillion books, seminars, talk shows on "how to be happy" or "Why aren't you happy" etc. I ride the rail/subways sometimes just to study and sometimes talk to people...its very interesting. MOST people are NOT happy....with anything ! They can have a "good" job, husband, wife, girl/boyfriend (or both), lots of money, nice house (perhaps not a home), but there's something missing. Relationships are not whole, they're sort of fragmented loose associations. The theme of today seems to be "Its About Me".....I've got mine, you get yours...I'm not sure where this all is going to take us as a society.Most of us do things BECAUSE this is how my familiy's always did it...Is there ever a "tipping point" in that paradigm
Other "why" questions are:
1) Why do we believe the way we do
2) Why do we marry or stay marry
3) why do we eat and drink what we eat and drink
4) why do we work hard for things or not work hard
5) why do we smoke or use cocaine or drink excess alcohol
6) Why do we committ adultery/fornicate
7) Why do we believe our ministers and clergy
8) Why do we tithe as opposed to buying a burger for the homeless
