Why is just humans trying to fulfill they're need for knowledge. Why is the ultimate question, yes, but of course, just touching on religion a bit, many could say that the answer to "why" is always "God". However, getting off religion, some people might just say the answer to most "Whys" is "fate". Of course, there is always the question of "Why is fate the answer to "Why"", which would literally prbly kill me, becuase my brain is seriously not capable of that... WHY?!
