There’s a reason for everything.

What reason engages in is always its own manifestation, be that language with its power of signification or be that harmonious numbers. In and through the sciences, reason searches for itself. Reason's true object is reason itself. Reason never simply deals with physical or historical objects as such.it manifests itself in culture and nature.

The essence of the "why" in society can be seen through many cultures and time periods. From many of people in westernized grade school, children are taught the 5 "W's:" who, what, why, where, and when. Starting in basic education, people are taught and encouraged to be inquisitive creatures. Not that they need to be. Even from prehistoric times, there have been many instances of Pagan cultures, and gods being created to explain certain natural events, such as rain gods, or a god's wrath may explain a volcano eruption. For, when a child is writing about a ladybug, they will want to know why the bug is there. When humans question their own existence, they want to know why they themselves are there. In any instance, a human will always ask the question "Why?" Furthermore, with any instance, a human will always find an answer to their why.

The Roman Empire lasted for hundreds of years and spanned continents, but over time many factors led to its decline. The Roman Empire began in 27 BCE when the Roman Senate granted Octavian the title Augustus. It had transformed from a republic to an autocratic government that was ruled by an emperor. The Roman Empire spanned from Europe, Africa, and Asia. It was split into the West and Eastern Roman Empires in 285 CE in an effort to stabilize Rome. Despite its many achievements, the Western Roman Empire began to decline. The Western Roman Empire declined because of poor leadership, a bad economy, and war.

We invent our explanations, and then they invent us. It is a book about how we create our virtual worlds – the habitat of our minds – by how we explain things. It is a book about how our explanations get embedded in the stories we tell and ingest – from gossip to advertising to the pernicious “social media.” It is a book about how everything we say or do or have is an explanation. Whatever we say or do or buy explains who we are. We multifariously explain ourselves to ourselves and to others. We talk, we daydream, we do, we feel: all evolves from how we explain things. Our explanations are the seeds from which everything human and social sprouts and evolves. They are the sources and the sinks of how we live our lives. It is a book that offers a non biological and thus a superior theory of the human trajectory, of specifically human and social evolution. We have turned our lives over to our pundits our “experts,” our celebrities, our advertisers and entertainers. We invite them to tell us what’s what, and how to live. They are our predators. We are their prey. It is an unprecedented change for civilization. As our lives go, so goes our civilization. We evolve out of our explanations of things. But to what end? Everything is deserving of an explanation. Thayer says that it is dangerous. I think we should just accept what is, and use that to shape our culture. There is no wrong or

The Mauryan Empire was the first major empire in the history of India and existed from around 324 BC to 185 BC. It was ruled by the Mauryan dynasty and was one of the was the largest and most powerful political and military empires of ancient India.

This period is known for developments in literature and language as Patanjali, a renowned scholar, published a treatise on the rules of Sanskrit grammar.

There was high political instability in India during this period.

Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue or why humans are the dominant species of Earth? I haven’t either. I have noticed, however, that there is no logical reason for certain things like why humans have opposable thumbs but lions don’t or what is it about a colour that makes it your favourite. There is no reason for certain things to be the way they are, but we accept them to be the only way of life and even fight over it.

Everything in life happens for a reason and nothing happens by happenstance, chance or luck. I
