Inquiry : Replace "why" with "what causes"

"why" has a negative connotation to it. It hints of a judgemental and critical mindset. If we replace "why" with "what causes" we may get a much better response (both internally from the self and externally from others and our environment). Inquiry is essential for improvement and evolution. The way one approaches inquiry is with open mindedness and compassion towards all things (self included).
