The whole day the flower was smiling, but the evening came and it had to wilt.
Why?
The child was playing with gay abandon in the courtyard; a zealot came and hacked the innocent to death.
Why?
The sea was sleeping for years; suddenly it got enraged and engulfed millions of lives.
Why?
She was hardly ten, when someone snatched stars from her eyes.
Why?
They were madly in love but had to part ways.
Why?
They were parents of successful children, but had to beg.
Why?
It was their home, but they were thrown out of it.
Why?
Her dreams were still red, but she was charred to death.
Why?
He was sole hope of his parents, but had to succumb to hapless destiny.
Why?
The eyes were utterly unruffled; suddenly they brimmed with drops of tears.
Why?
As long as the whys of life remain unanswered, the ways of life remain uncouth. Let’s try our level best to rummage within our soul for the answers of these whys.
