Not a story, but a simple message. If one believes they had everything stripped away from them, all they can think about is taking back what is theirs and enacting revenge against those who wronged them. 

However, what if we don't know who the culprit is? Furthermore, if the culprit is ourselves, what then? Taking it further, if the culprit is society, what should the victim do?

Everything Away

"Why?" is a short song about someone who has had everything stolen from them, and now they are left to question why they are still alive. When he turns to God to provide him a purpose, even He turns away from the man and leaves him in the dark. The question of "Why?" plagues his mind, as there seems to be no answer in sight.

When one's God has denounced them, one may question why they are still alive. Of course, this simple question is one that many people will ask at some point in their lifetime, but the answer is anything but simple. The answers can range from the naturalistic explanations all the way to the rarely spoken, philosophical truths that the average person may not even be able to comprehend. The religious and spiritual also have a wide spectrum of ideas that may explain why we are here. They may also just be analogies to explain the processes of the mind in a manner that we otherwise wouldn't understand. Simply put, the question of "Why?" is one that is almost objectively unanswerable, though many will provide a subjective response to the question. Yet, there are many who do not believe that there is a purpose in this Universe at all and that is their response to "Why?" Who is to say for certain why we are here?
