The method of the "why" to the power of 5 (or more)
It is a very effective method to know the primary causes of an event or of a human phenomenon.
The answer to the "why?" is often the consequence of another cause, that is itself the consequence of an other upstream cause....
The why of the why of the why of the why... of an action or of an attitude makes possible to be approaching the primary explanation.
Example :
1 - Why did I have a car accident?
Because I did not respect the red light.
2 - Why did I not respect red light?
Because I was drunk.
3 - Why was I drunk?
Because I drank too much alcohol.
4 - Why had I drunk too much?
To forget my bad results of the competitive examination.
5 - Why did I have bad results?
Because I had not revised enough.
We could continue so on... and be nearing more and more the original cause.
