Why . . .

By

Why. . .  

 

If “X” marks the spot where pirated treasure may be buried, what comes next?  Is it “Y”?  Or perhaps Why?   Why Oh Why.      

 

In questions where “why?” is asked, understand answers are desired but sometimes there may be another motive.   Motive sounds a bit sinister so let’s use the word reason instead.   Not necessarily hidden nor suspicious but an underlying message may exist.  Is it a clue?  Some insight? 

 

Why people do or don’t do things or act this way or that way may be curious  but does it make a difference?  Maybe and just as true is maybe not.   It’s about our choice.  What’s important to us?  To understand that is as important as it is to ask.   Oh, why.  Why, indeed. 

 

Yes, I wonder. . .   And is it a subliminal message or is that the aroma of coffee I am sensing?

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD = we often have an front row seat as witnesses to the people-watching spectacle.  And it can be quite the show on multiple levels. 

 

Roy Kelley - I hope your Sunday has been a good one whether it is celebrated as the first day of the week or the seventh - or simply celebrated just because.

 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - moving forward is important but that doesn't necessarily eliminate curiosity.  Of reasons and all sorts of discovery.  Ourselves and beyond.  Well, at least, in my opinion.

 

 

Will Hamm - thanks for adding to the conversation.

 

Sham Reddy CRS - thank you for the comment.  I appreciate you stopping by.

Kathy Streib - I often appreciate those "wayback machine" visits.  For perspective, pondering and for so many other reasons.  Of course, it's nice because it's temporary.  

 

 

Grant Schneider - your two cents is appreciated.  

 

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - that's definitely an interesting question, isn't it?

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - anyone who has ever spent any time around a two-year-old is likely well acquainted with why followed by but why questions.   Investigative reporting starts young for many and to be well-prepared with answers or responses takes much skill.  Especially as many answers remain unknown even as we age.  

 

 

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist - it's not a trip on a short plank - it's a journey - often lasting a lifetime.

 

Rocky Dickerson - E-I-E-I-Oh  and then we have so many other letters in the alphabet still battling for a position.

Morning Michael.

Now you got me to wondering "why", did you write this one.  Of course, I wonder why about a lot of things.

James Dray - Why?  The happenings of each day often prompt a note(usually in the way of a quick text to myself) with a word that may jog my memory for a post.  I can't remember the particulars of exactly what spurred this missive but here it is nonetheless.  The mind wanders. . .    Sure I guess it might be considered aimless by some but that's just the way it is.  🙃

Exactly, my wife asked me to pick something up at the store the other day.  She put it in writing, I went and of course forgot to read the message, why indeed.... 🤠

Endre Barath, Jr. - I have learned but definitely don't appreciate that glitches within the ActiveRain system are a part of the "experience".   That said, I also know my own fingers can often be the blame.  I am not so accepting of that but do acknowledge that happens.

 

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! -  why not, indeed.

Why?

Something children ask...far too often. 

Something I've been asking far too often lately.

Sometimes there just aren't any answers. Accepting that can be very difficult.

James Dray - even when I write something to remind me, it's not a guaranty that I will remember.  Oh, well.

 

Elyse Berman, PA - it seems to happen at all times.

 

Sharon Tara - there are no shortages when it comes to difficulties.  There seems to be an abundance of them especially when my patience is being tested.

Dear Michael,

In real estate transactions, that question is really appropriate. Many people are very insecure about what to do, so getting to the motive for acting this way or another is always good and reassuring.

Dorte Engel - communication is so important in real estate and, of course, everyday life.  Hopfully that communication can lead to a connection of sorts.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - "why" is a question that is a part of my personal probing pondering on a daily basis.  I tend to ask that of myself as well as to others and in many situations.

Michael, you can always learn more when you ask WHY, and usually there is lots more to the story.

I'm using WHY? in planning out retirement (many years to go). It is very helpful in planning out what I really need by thinking deeper with the WHY?!

Joan Cox - very true.

 

Pete Xavier - deep thinking is good.  Or at least it can be.
