Each incident ripped us inside, caused us to stop in our tracks, think, feel and hopefully reach out with a cry of 'why?' to our Father in Heaven. B''h there are no answers to this frequently asked question and b''h we are still asking it. If we were ever to have answers to our questions of ''why'' we would stop asking them, which in turn would bring our downfall because and if we would stop asking we would stop feeling and if we would stop feeling our pain and the pain of others then we would stop crying out to Hashem, Hashem Who is causing all this and waiting for these moments....moments of our reconnection.

Very interesting. I heard a shiur about the whole situation by Rabbi Ephraim Wachsman and he said that G-d doesn't want us to ask questions. If we ask too many questions, then He feels that He should take us up there, so that we can finally understand everything. We don't want to shorten our lives because of our questions, do we? Eilu, V'ailu...
I think that there is a difference between constant questioning of how Hashem runs the world and the pained 'why' which is more of a cry than a question and brings us closer to Him.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
