What the fact is going on?
What happened vs Why it happened
Determining what is, and what was, will be found by diligently seeking, asking questions, looking for the answer, and searching for the truth.
Why what is, or why what was, is a task of contemplation.
The answers to why, are indeed subjective and influenced by my personal feelings and my opinions when considering and representing the facts (the what). Unlike the answers to what, which are static and objective.
What does that mean? Meaning. That is the question. What meaning? My meaning comes from within me, not from outside me. "Who knows a person's depths except their own spirit that lives in them? In the same way, no one has known the depths of God except God's Spirit." [1 Corinthians 2:11 (CEBA)]
