because

I wish you knew what you ask. This is most personal of all questions. You may ask what, which would bring you information; or you might ask where that might bring you a place in space and time in response; then you might ask how, which might entail information and knowledge of the ways of things of the world. But ‘why’ is purely argumentative in most personal sense. This is an objection demanding an explanation. The reason that there is ‘why’ is no simple reason either; there is ‘why’ because there is ‘you’, or ‘I’ for that matter. I would rather like to ask – who?

That is something each one of us including yourself has to decide for themselves. Use your mind and your heart and choose wisely with all your "why" questions in life.

In most cases you will find there is no answer. Sometimes there is a partial answer and even an unfair one. But life does not allow us to stop there. Instead we must continue to keep on living. So then just move onto the next one and life, and "do".

because no one truly understands the true meaning of everything, so we label the things we wish to never truly understand. only very few of us wish to understande more, so we dedicate our lives, hearts, spirits and minds to understanding more things, such as the way life is, what your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend got you as a gift, etc.
we try to understand things that we think we aren't supposed to know, so some venture into the depths of the unknown world, and discover secrets and facts which have remained hidden for millenia, but also face people who do not wish to know the things that those few find out! That is WHY. That is the philosophy of the World. That is what i believe to be the meaning of Life.

The answer to your question is in the question. It is the very essence of your asking the question and what made you ask the question in the first place.

"Why"
19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Luke 16:19-31

There really should be no need for you to ask that, but we are so irrational and greedy that we must ask that question to attempt to understand why we do the crazy things we do.

I don't know why but it is a good question

I've tried that, but it doesn't fit or make sense. "Why?" "42".

In general terms, your question is far too general to get any specifics. "Why?" "Because it is so." I can't offer anything more substanial.
