I stand corrected! Thanks for the clarification. Do these things have pedigrees at

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.
