WHY
Before I knew I was an aspie:

When I was a young adult, I was riding the subway in Philadelphia with a male love interest. He was Italian-born and reading an Italian magazine. There was an article titled "Perche". I asked him what the word "Perche" meant. His reply was "Why". Then I said, "Because I'd like to know. What does it mean?" He replied again, "why" but with annoyance this time. I started to yell, "Because I'd like to know! What does it mean?! He then replied, "Perche means why!! !" I thought he was asking me why I wanted to know what Perche meant. Sheessh!! ! This relationship was a short one. He was the first and not the last person who said to me,"You're not even from this planet!" The bastard tried to use my psychotherapist to get a fake worker's compensation claim going but he was kicked out of the office. She promplty told me I was being used by this young man but she understood because I was her patient. After this happened, she focused all our sessions on my experiences with this guy. It turned out that the whole relationship was a sham. I was just being used throughout the entire relationship and didn't even realize it. She said that almost all of her patients were entirely too trusting but they were good people. 3/4 of them were spectrum disordered.

So that philosophers would have something to ask each other.

There is no Why
Each perceiver has only a narrow spectrum of perception of their own personal 'whyness'
Thus, it is not until such focussed concepts as Why are abandoned...
I'm getting too technical.

let's put it this way :
Look into a Kaliedoscope, see those many sparkling images?
Now, imagine you are one of those many sparkling images,
can you look back up the tube?

If there was no one watching,
would you sparkle any less?
