Why?

How is this as it is. Most experiences of spirit are rather self explanatory giving like love, but answering how it is, is an other question, like the existence of everything else. Hate, on the other hand, has as explanation an external, and its condition limits attention to the hated other thing or person. Of course we could debate the contradictions for all that, as at times, love is attributed to the cause of the thing rather than for the thing.
The reason I assume the question how is an assumption on the need for power to create for ones self what nature mysteriously provides, such as fruit and children.

The first recorded question found in "The Epic of Gilgamesh" a Babylonian story recorded in cuneiform on clay tablets some 2500-3000 years ago (preceding any of the Bible) was "Why do I have to die?" Before this it was probably the same question asked by prehistoric peoples like Cro-Magnons and even non-human Neanderthals since they learned languages. We still ask it today.

You going to make me say this.oh no. What came first the chicken or the egg? I mean you need the chicken to get the egg and the egg to get the chicken. It would be a good philosophical debate question that would never have an answer.At least none that I have been able to figure out. Thanks for the opportunity to use that though. I have been waiting forever to use it and now was the time. Thanks.

well you've gotta define philosophy. If you define it as "love of wisdom" which it is in it's purest form, then the first question that anyone ever thought in their heads (actually thought, not felt in their stomachs) is the first. If, by philosophy you mean "What is man and where does he fit into civil society?", then it is impossible to even speculate who thought of the first thing pertaining to that.

Does it even seem plausible someone can answer that question?
