Why, indeed.

People are mysterious creatures.

Because of this, some of us take up the role of studying people in our everyday lives. I am among this selective crowd. So why do people behave in certain ways when faced with different situations?
I provide 5 different perspectives:
The simpleton
When asked why, they often answer "why, not?" or "because I can" (sometimes, just "'cuz")
The Over-analyst
"Why, what?" and then they might stare off into space or just not say anything until you go away. (just saying).
The Critical Thinker
"Why? What kind of question is that?" These are the folks that are kind of scary to be around for too long, but hear what they have to say before you start walking away.
The Stoner
"huh?" (just thought I'd throw this one in here).
The Impulse-Driven 100 MPH Reactionary
"Z."

This may not actually progress thought as to why some people are more motivated than others, or why one person behaves more peculiarly than their companions, but it may provide some insight.

More on this when I give a damn.
