The Question Is: Do You Want To Go Forward Or Backward? (The Choice Is Yours)

asking why

leads backwards

as in “why did you do that?”

why asks for excuses

reasons

justification of the past

asking what

looks forward

as in “what will you do with that?”

what asks to create

is curious

and wants nothing more

than for something to be expressed
