Why, Why Me, Why Not Me? {Reflections Redeemed}

 There are some internal questions all the humans have once at least during their life have raised. The reasons to posing such questions are numerous depending on the person and the situations he/she encountered. Often, said with saturated emotions and heavy on the heart, these questions come out. 

The first question human beings tend to ask is usually why. Even as a toddler, why is considered the simplest yet the hardest to elucidate. Sometimes said with curiosity like our younger versions while in other times it brought with anger and agony. Perhaps, then, we learn two significant ways to interrupt situations. One through curiosity like how the younger versions of us often thought and the other one through contempt and annoyance towards an occurrence. Therefore, there is this advised method by some on how to nurture your inner child because sometimes he/she knows better. The constructive side of curiosity is the driver for exploration and innovative inventions. In the case of contempt and anger, it could be the push for change whether positive or negative and as always according to the person's views and objectives. 

The second question humanity contemplate is perceived as a celebration of individualism. The person usually asks it to the oneself and the world, universe, God if believed in one or maybe it is question directed to something he/she considers bigger than our limited nature. Personally, I actually think this question even atheists ask to themselves at least once if not more. If there is a very basic numerical factor, humans, themselves know best is there are a lot of humans on this planet. There are tens, thousands, millions and even billions. With this abundance of human beings interacting daily during their lifetime, there is a question often posed if inflicted and afflicted by something we perceived challenging, overwhelming and soul crushing. This question is pronounced with derision and wonder. There are lots of humans all of the planet, country and the world so what is the wisdom if there is any since some could adopt nihilism consciously or subconsciously. Frankly speaking from the view I support, there might be a wisdom for someone to grasp, there might not any and there might be something beyond our mentality to sense. This approach some might find convenient to encourage their submissive nature to accept god's will or the nature's will. However, this also does not negate your full responsibility as a human being to acknowledge your input, role and participations as well to the beyond your control environment. Determining which is which should be the life mandate and it is what differs from one person to another and even communities. needless to mention but it is equally crucial to state that these subjective explanatory phrases are to encourage the upright and benevolent not the ones disguising as such or the ones with difficulties inflicting /afflicting others to get what they lustfully desire.  

The final question I aspire to present at the end is the very basic why not me? Our human nature seeks flourishing and well-being that is what everyone is working to achieve whether legitimately or not. The legit is a preference each formulate and customize according to their chosen values and beliefs. I will make a generalization, but I believe in it a lot. All human beings often ask this question as a display of implicit objection manifested differently. Some could say this as sort of scolding to the superpower in the universe in their praying.  Other could blatantly squeal furiously.  The manifestations for the emotions associated with this thought could be numerous but certainly they are due to the blessings never granted and things never attained. And certainly. It is not for the afflictions in the world but the blessings, luck or whatever advantages. 

We as humans, within us, there is an embedded system which demands inclusion when awarded something that will offer comfort, luxury and fortuity. In contrary, the human nature deflects any source of misery, discomfort and misfortune. This is one of the commons within the humanity. Nevertheless, sometimes and it depends as explained before, humans do not entirely choose what they could attract or repulse. Sometimes, we, have to truly refuge to something bigger in sense, meaning, concept, well this is a vocab you get to choose. 

The human nature has this innate sense of entitlement stemmed from our egoistic persona when it comes to rewards acquisition and affliction deflection or denial. Certainly, it could differ from one to another, but this is a humanitarian common sense. This humanitarian approach should be a confession in which the not utterly objective side is exposed whether we accept, decline or deny it.
