Why? Why not, he asked? Because... Because why he asked? Because I just felt that way, that's all,      and for a very long time,      maybe because of my heritage,      maybe because of the eagle sitting on my right. The eagle just is, and doesn't ask why. The hunter and the hunted are one and the same. Does it matter which is which? Because all paths lead to the same place,      and the Buddha says "All Life Is Suffering". It's up to us to find a better way. Just what is the right way, and the wrong way?      Who knows?      All ways are the right ways.      Only time will tell that. And in the end it doesn't really matter;      does it? Because why, he asked?

Additional Notes:
I was in one of my philosophical moods when I wrote this [after I had done a sweat lodge]. The eagle I refer to is my Indian symbol.Actually, my name in German means "the Eagle."
