Ah! I think I get it now. The question you have a problem with isn't "Why?" but "Why me?", right? I still think that, even in the context of the aftermath of some disaster or trauma, it's a good idea to ask "Why?" but it has to be an open-minded, impersonal "Why?". "Why did this happen?" rather than "Why did this happen to me?"
