"People don't want things to make sense. Know why? Because if they did we'd all be in trouble. You drive too fast down the street because it feels good or you're in a hurry. If things made sense, a cop would stop you every single time and give you a ticket. But what happens when a cop *does* stop you? You get angry and say that's not fair! But sure it's fair. It also makes sense. If life made sense we'd either behave ourselves a hell of a lot better or be walking around scared, waiting for the punishment due us for all the bad things we do every day.

"We want life to make sense only when it's to our advantage. Otherwise, it's interesting not knowing what's coming next. Maybe you'll get heads, maybe tails. People do wrong things all the time and get away with it. Good people get their neck broken. Would you prefer it if only the good people got rewarded? How often are you good? How often do you deserve the good *you* get? Wouldn't you rather have an interesting life that a fair one?"
