Why

 In his book, BEYOND ORDER 12 MORE RULES FOR LIFE, on Page 106, Jordan Peterson writes this about asking why: "We use our past effectively when it helps us repeat desirable--and avoid repeating undesirable--experiences. We want to know what happened but, more importantly, we want to know why. Why is wisdom. Why enables us to avoid making the same mistake again and again, and if we are fortunate helps us repeat our successes."

The morally developed adult thinks more than he feels, and his rational powers motivate him to learn from history, the past, his past and his experiences. What worked is what he repeats, and what failed is an approach that he will not resort to again.

He cannot be morally developed, grow, or advance as a maverizer until he embraces pure truth, what happened and to discover why it happened. His ponderings might include the employment of subjunctive conditionals to speculate as to how he can learn from his experience, or what to avoid in the future.

To seek wisdom is to hear God's whisperings in our ear. To ask why is is the key to becoming wiser, more powerful, more successful, provided one acts directly upon what one learns.
