Find a word related to B E C A U S E

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word - B E C A U S E conjunción

and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not because)

Examples:

Why get upset just because you got a bad mark?

¿Por qué disgustarse por una mala nota?

Pictures would be nice.

This link might help you find some ideas

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This is the previous challenge
