Why?

Now this is a good question. Actually, I think it is THE question. Simple, plain. Just one word. It's neither "why?" in the sense of "Why are we here?" nor in the sense of "Why did I ask this on Yahoo Answers?". Well, actually it can be, but it is much more fundamental than that.

I didn't put this on for nothing: yesterday I woke up, I ate my breakfast and I went to work. When I came back and got into bed to sleep, this question arose from deep inside me, so loud i could even hear someone else's voice shouting it in my room. I really want to know the answer, or better, THE answer(s) to THE question, as I think everyone in the world does. And if you can't catch its meaning (and thus / or) can't provide an answer, how come every other question have a meaning, an answer, if the most fundamental and deep question you can ask yourself doesn't?

The title of the question means "why" in the different languages I speak, I wrote it like that mainly due to the 10 characters required, but may have other meanings: does each language assign a different meaning to the same concept? Is the italian "Perché?" the same as the german "Warum?" and the portuguese "Porque?"

Aegle: I'm not so sure myself since i'm not Portuguese mothertongue and i say this humbly, but it shouldn't be neither "porque" or "porquê", but "por que". http://educacao.uol.com.br/disciplinas/portugues/p...
