During my reading, I have come to realize that philosophy is really (to me) a study of "why". There are so many things people say and do, we are always asking ourselves "why?" This could go around and around. Someone gives you an answer to a question like "Why are we alive?" Their answer is "To create a superior animal known as the 'human'." But, why? It's like a little kid always wanting to know why: even when you gave them an appropriate answer to their question they always ask why. So my question is how do you know when your question is fully answered? Is it when you can't ask why? Can any question ever be fully answered and totally true? Is anything, besides the math and scientist formulas totally without a question of why, true? Is there no end to why?
