But why?
We don't know!

We are  reading holybooks.
But why?
We don't know!

We are writing poetry.
But why?
We don't know!

We are making atomic weapons.
But why?
We don't know!

We are falling in love.
But why?
We don't  know!

We are living in the world.
But why?
We don't know!

We are thinking thoughts.
But why?

We are human beings.
But why?
We don't know!

We know nothing about life,
Although we are conscious people.

'Why' is an unanswered adverb in our life..
