Two Events with Causality.

In order for there to be time (just, off the top of my head). there must be two events with causality, or at least awareness and effect upon one another. If you only have one event. then, there is no beginning, or end. no start or stop. with no events.. well, that's obvious. three events.. well, you're late there. the cats already out of the bag.

So talk about when, or where, may be interesting, but ultimately is not satisfying, or truly enlightening.

How? That's an interesting contemplation.

Why? Well, i think "because" is more than adequate as an answer to "why?"
"Why" is really a question of any particular state, which begs a previous or subsequent state, which is in essence a puzzle, and not truly enlightening.
It's not difficult to see why "why?" is alluring as a contemplation in terms of an earthly being, subject to the seemingly capricious nature of existence and nature, which at times, seems uncaring or unconcerned or non-aligned to the necessities, or desires of life and the living.
Ancient cultures and ancient peoples WHO, have, no malice in their hearts, or malevolence in their intent.. while experiencing those who are truly evil, apparently, at times appear to curry favor would naturally be quite curious as to the answer to the most mundane question of "why?"

So, yes, "why?" is a question which is self-absorbed as an inquiry to the extent that it's a question more befitting a beggar, and not a philosopher.

If you have two events, you have a beginning. And so I have to wonder if perfection is assumed once the conditions of time are present, or if perfection is an evolution point in time. it must be the former. once the conditions for creation are assembled, then perfection has been achieved, for any subsequent incarnation is necessarily a contingency of the previous condition.. the unavoidable potentiality of perfection is necessarily perfection, maybe more perfect.. if there is such a thing.

It has been said that a philosopher is one that endeavors to understand and "philosophize".

One of the most enjoyable playgrounds for a philosopher is to place oneself in a position of using their full human faculties to contemplate that which is true beyond the individual. this successful "stretching" of ones mind, is the equivalent of the philosophical orgasm.

But, talk of orgasms is truly animalistic... and therein lies the ultimate rub and the spice of life.
