I believe psychiatry says we can never know why - what really motivates behavior (beyond seeking pleasure & avoiding pain).

On the other hand, when asked "Why are we here?" Comic Professor Irwin Corey said: "You have actually asked 2 questions" - "Are we here? Yes!"; "Why...is a question that has plagued mankind since the beginning..." (You don't know how many years I've been holding onto this - since the '60's!)
