How and Why

People tend to ask too many why and in the end they forgot to understand the what elements that need to be taken care of. This is the problem with our society. People tend to be too fixated in analysing everything.
This is especially irritating when we need to face children. It would not be surprising for every parent to complain about the bombardment of Why's kids ask. We forgive them because they are children and they do not have sufficient that forms the basis to see how things work. But, if it was for someone beyond that stage, you will hate that constant questioning of why.
This is a struggle between the dichotomy: theory and practicality. Theory is our pursuit for knowledge, where the most plausible solution is made from assumptions. I would not argue against the importance in pursuing knowledge however, there extensive focus on why things happen is what truly boils my love. Why I say this? Well, I am a tutor. My students tend to many why do i have to take this step. Some of the questions are equivalently trivial to asking why does 1+1=2.
I believe that knowing how is more important then the why. Reason can be found from the basic principle of science. Where does scientific principles come from? Constantly question why this happen? Partly, but this could not be done without observations, which is the how. Science is an act of bringing a why into a how. They don't just start with a why. And even, in science, many things don't have a reason nor an explanation to it. But, we shouldn't question it. If we do, then we are going to introduce an arbitrary system to humanity.
