Why? The question we all ask ourselves. Why me? Why him or her? Why? We ask this one-word question because we thirst for knowledge and answers.

When we get rejected by a teacher, student or even a stranger. We ask this one question before we ask the other ones. Are we never cool enough to be in a friendship group or not smart enough to be in certain class? But when we feel that when nothing can bring us down, something comes crashing down and we ask that question again. We always come back to the same question. Why?
