Why?

Rayya has reached the stage where she is constantly asking why, and why not? The second it became irritating, a thought popped into my head. Even though this is something that every child eventually goes through, I hope that Rayya never loses the ability and the desire to ask why? I hope as she develops and grows older, she will still constantly ask why? Not only, to learn the most that she possibly can, but also not to accept everything people say as truth, and to question people's theories and ideas so that she can challenge them and challenge herself. And if we bring her up in the right way, with the right morals and values and beliefs, she can constantly ask why, and decide to accept the right information and discard the wrong information that she gets fed. We really are in an overload of information in this day and age, and we get fed so much great information as a result, but we also get fed a whole bunch of crap. So as irritating as it can be, I hope that I will be able to foster the use of the word why, in Rayya's life. I hope that she will always ask why, and seek to know more, and never take anything she hears as fact. But rather that she would have such a firm foundation to filter everything she hears through, and decide for herself, and hopefully with God's guidance, what is truth and what is not.
