Howcome?

Indeed. Howcome?
This is something everyone wonders at some point in their lives. Howcome?
It's a perfectly fine thing to wonder. After all it is only human to ask this question, be it to themselves or someone else, in the hope of finding out the answer to the situation you can't quite comprehend. It is not wrong to ask this question, it is not something that people should feel ashamed about for having asked this.

However.

If, for example, your son finds out that all the internet connections in the house work, except the one that he is using himself, and he is trying to fix the problem, not quite knowing in which direction to look for the answer, attempting to rule out possibilities that could in no way be the reason for the problem, and slowly but surely losing faith in his problem fixing abilities, having thought through every possible reason for the problem, over and over again, finding himself empty handed after every attempt, there is one thing that you can never do.
You don't, under any circumstances, go to his room, finding him on the floor kneeling in front of the computer with a dazed and helpless look on his face, close to shedding tears over the one thing that can keep him in contact with his long distance girlfriend for free, the one thing that he gets hope out of, which comforts him every day just to see his girlfriend type "I miss you" in the chat window, you do not, you cannot, you will not, walk up to him, look over the scene, and ask him;

HOWCOME????

It's good that we are not animals. That we have concepts like morals, emotion and respect.
Because if we didn't..I could have killed someone today.
