Why?

Why do we not listen?
  do we not need to listen?

Why do we ignore?
 do we not need to pay attention?

Why do we stray away?
  is that what we are suppose to do?

Why do we hate?
  are we not suppose to love.

Why are we not reasonable?
  isn't reason understanding.

Why do we not communicate?
  are we not suppose to talk?

Why are do we fight?
  are we not suppose to embrace. 

Why can't we be truly happy?
  are we suppose to be sad?

Why can't we live life to the fullest?
   are suppose to live empty?

Why? 

Why?

Is there an answer?
