Raymond asked:

The author wrote that Quinn came to an understand of how the Father of his childhood friend could murder his son and then take his own life when Quinn understood the study of the bee hive, ant colony and flocks of birds? So that escapes me and what is it that was understood?

Raymond OK, I made it to Chapter 33 and understand that Free Will is the resolution of the conundrum (and also that the owner of the deli is the one who shot the father!)! I suppose it is also related to the Pandora Box of antiquity and the reason Hope is not released into the world? "by hoping for or expecting a good life that we can never have, we prolong our torment. Thus it is better to live without hope, and it is good that hope remained in the jar. But if hope is good, then its imprisonment makes life even more dreary and insufferable"
