Wondering Why

I saw a posting yesterday showing a honeycomb and the comment was how and why did someone get the idea to open up a bee's nest and taste it.  Yes, just what would drive a person to do that?

There are lots of things I wonder about.  Where did the idea of marriage come from?  Have humans always been primarily heterosexual?  Why did our ancestors travel across the ocean to dig into an inhospitable landscape and homestead?  Was this a better alternative than staying home?  Who thought to put vinegar on fries and potato chips?  Who decided to build up instead of sideways or back?  How did politicians convince the hard working public to hand over all their power and tax money to them?  Who was the first person to open an oyster and eat the slime inside?  

Human behaviour is another huge mystery.  Why do we hurt the ones we love?  Why do some work themselves to death and others refuse to work at all?  What drives women to grow a big fat baby inside their tummy knowing it's going to have to come out of a small place and that's going to hurt like hell?  Why do some people refuse to live by the social rules of their community?  Why don't they live where their rules apply?  Why do we take foreign language classes in elementary and high school when we'll almost never go anywhere we need to speak them?  Why do some people crave adventure and others peace and quiet?  Why did we create religions?

There are endless questions, many of which aren't important enough to dig for the answers...some with no answers.  One thing for certain, the biggest question is why are we here?  That is a question I really wish could be answered.
