That’s a very vague question! "Why is it so?" could refer to literally anything. Sometimes we ask this when we feel confused about life, fate, or even random events. The answer really depends on context. But if you mean in a philosophical sense, then maybe the best answer is: because that’s the way reality has unfolded. Life often doesn’t give us neat reasons. Instead of “why,” maybe we should ask “how do I live with it?”
