Why was invented by No. Then it was thrown away, as a failed experiment, and just as it hit the ground, in that fatal instant, No realized he had made a devastating mistake. Why was never supposed to break, because it was unbounded – an infinitely repeatable, unbounded, complex utterance. Almost, No commented later – a truth in its own.

Why had only one answer in the beginning, but as it split into more Why-s than our mind can conceive – the answers began to exhaust, gradually, our words, languages, gestures, question marks and even our ability to ignore them.

Eventually, we surrendered and made Why a noble among us, Sir Why, of the Fractals. We gave Why a part of our lives, our mathematics and a corner of nature to play with. One would comment that we had done the same with No and here’s what happened. But No was not unbounded, like Why. You square No and add another No – you get negation and a bad mood. You do the same with Why …

… and you link your mind with the Universe, to the brink of sinking in your pillow, with the night screaming in your hand and the land shaking and the lake freezing outside the window and your eyes aglow and your eyes shut and a gut feeling that eveything’s right and white electrons rushing through your spine, and red wine and warm skin and all the words within.

And every Why is identical to that initial Why invented by No. Can you believe that? What a lucky bastard…
