   I don't know the "why". I've learned this about "how":

      Mr. Rivy those are words to live by. I like the way you think. I am also a supporter of the "how". Have recently written a poem about this. Take a look and tell me what you think if you wish to do so.

   I think that if you seek the why, even if you never come to an absolute answer, the search will lead you to a better 'how.'

      What really matters is not why we live our life.
      It is how we live our why.
      What really matters is to make the seconds count,
      while time is passing by.

      Smart point of view that you have thought about the subject. Answer the why is difficult in a big scale but in our live it is important because give us a reason to live, later you search the how, check it and resolve how to live your life because I know who Iam and what need for the future.

   Neither. I'm a "what" and "who" kind of person: What will I accomplish while I'm here and who will I accomplish it with?

   Before deciding how to exist, doesn't it make sense to try to determine why you exist?

      the how is the past and the present, you dont start from nothing, we talk about life in progress, we dont born to be a superstar. Mothers say that but is not true you know.

      Looking for a "why?" is one of the many "hows?" you can choose in your life.

   why we exist :-- to save nature, to save love, to serve old age men and women.
   how we exist :- dreams and thoughts of future make us to live in present.

    my point is that our "how" justifies our "why". We are what we do.

    The way I see it, the how is the realm of psychology and science, whereas the why is the realm of first philosophy (aka metaphysics of Being). Hence, I would go for Why.

    How for sure - How can I make anothers journey better reads so much better than Why should I.....why bother? How can I not bother? Definately the HOW. The How teaches/encourages us to search for better Whys and greater joy in the journey

       Fashion is often misguided imo. Becoming is the HOW and Being is the WHY. Becoming is only intelligible in the light of Being.

    Let's clear something up here. The How (becoming)and the Why (Being) obviously go hand in hand, and whilst there is an argument to be said that one should do first and understand later, it is ultimately best to understand. Something that was touched upon in the following post: beingandquirckiness.blogspot.com/2009/04/playing-partition.html

       Doing is understanding... while the "how" and the "why" go hand in hand, what really matters is HOW we live the WHY...
       "The meaning of life is to give life a meaning".
       Very well written post btw. Take a look at my latest poem if you wish to do so. You might enjoy it.

    To me, the word "why" just described such a history but "how" could have more extended meaning, the word "how" could also inspired us and give us suggestion to do somethings.
