Don't you sit and wonder why a word is spoken? Don't you sit and ask why something is that way? Don't you sit and wonder what it is that makes you wonder? We all do at some point, but know before you ask, that there is no answer. Know before you ask, that you will try, regardless what I say. Know before you ask, that your eyes look for answers, no matter how hard to get. Know before you ask, that you'll wonder why I say this.
