French term or phrase: le pourquoi du comment
Le simple fait que la majeure partie des gens qui se font incinérés sont des personnes athées, nous oblige à présent à essayer de comprendre ***le pourquoi du comment*** ? Ces personnes n'abordent pas dans leur recherche le côté spirituel et c'est justement là que réside la raison que nous essaierons d'étayer.
