The "because" is easy peasy. If it is caused/controlled by humans and purposeful that means there is something in it for them and almost always at the expense of others. Normal humans don't do things because they are right or honorable or brave or patriotic. They do what's selfish and serves their own best interests. With rare exceptions all politicians are blackhearted self-centered crooks. The ABNORMAL folks...not the normal...are the ones who rise above their own self-interests and do things that most of us would never do. They do what they do to benefit others often at great expense to themselves. They are the good, the brave, the few. Just my opinion. What's yours?
