I'm glad you like it. I felt exactly the same way when I heard it. Certain things
are
not to ponder beyond a simple understanding of the context from which we came
into this world.
It also goes a long way in understand those things which we DO have control and
acting
upon them accordingly. I used to get bogged down with many things due to the
why-nature
of them. Not any longer. I accept things as they are and then take it from there.
Also, the why/because philosophy goes a long way WRT to dealing with my six year
old
daughter who has more questions than I can answer. She has learned to ask ones
that get
a response beyond "because", and I think we both appreciate those more as well.
Surely she must have passed through the 'why because?' stage then.

I stand corrected! Thanks for the clarification. Do these things have pedigrees at
this point? Some of them, anyway?
660 made of the Apple I and millions of Suns
made; supply and demand.
$660 + $6 ($666) was the selling price. 200 was the number made ;)
The point is that we are all born into a context
of this world that is
based upon reality as it is. Did you pick your parents, your family
name, the country you were born in, who was running the country, the
traditions, etc.? No, no...,no, and no. Like it or not, it IS. Why?
Because!
Hey, this makes life so much more simple. Anytime someone asks me a "why"
question, I'm just going to answer "Because!" and go on with my day.
Brilliant! :)

P.S. Working on getting to Boston in late July. The Red Sox ARE in town that
