Why me?
Why not you?
Why are you asking?
——————————–
Purpose or process? I assume ultimate purpose that drives process so that subsequent events evoke "how" rather than "why" questions.
Why? That is the process.
Why the process? Now that goes to purpose.
I normally only ask why about ultimate things. About those things that serve the ultimate in multi-layered systems, I am more curious about how it works.
Thus, our individual troubles are layered strands within a systemic process that is designed to work over time in a grand coordination of machinery that runs the big wheel.
Yet, the God who designs it for good and keeps things running, is also in and attentive to the details.
At the same time, the details, along with their relative inconveniences are incidental to the larger purpose … The Big Why.
Why would the Grand Engineer tolerate our distracting "why" inquiries when they could be answered accurately with "Why not?"
Why does this part of the process respond to that part of the process in a way that is logical, utilitarian, functional, and predictable?
He does not berate us.
The answer is love.
The fabric that unites the parts drives the whole.
The grace that oils the gears of progress is the heartbeat of its ultimate purpose: The love of God.
So I seldom ask, "Why me?"
Simple answer: So everything else will work.
It is just too complicated ![]()
