Why?
Why walk backwards?
Why are you angry?
Why are you scared?
Why are you uncomfortable?
Why do you like things the way you like them?
Why are you so worried about what others think?
Why always do things the same way?
Why go on autopilot?
Why do you have to hurry?
Why is the destination more important than the journey?
Why do we not incorporate the journey into part of the destination?
Why do we always want to look forward?
Why walk backwards when everyone is walking forward?
Why walk backwards just because someone asked you to?
