To me, the 'why' is the truth, the real thing. It defines the reason for our existence, our aims, ends, and objectives we head towards. Understanding the 'why' shapes the who, what, where, when and the how. The 'why' is the core of the issue, the heart-of-hearts; all the rest touch only the surface, and they are no more than the outward manisfestations of the truth.
