“

In the beginning of their relationship, both of them proceeded as if they had entered a very dark room and were sliding their hands hesitantly up and down all the walls, feeling for a light switch while at the same time afraid they might touch something sharp or dangerous. But from the minute they met, there was absolutely no game playing between them. Both had had more than enough of games in their lives. They were eager to get to the heart of this matter. They wanted to reach the point as soon as possible where sharing silence was just as good as sharing their life stories.

“Fear is never friendly or reasonable. Whether it’s Death or Fear or Worry, those big words that begin with capital letters, you can’t cut a deal or make then disappear just because you want them gone. They’re too strong and mean. They do what they want and what they want at that moment is you.”

“People don’t want things to make sense, although they always say they do. Know why? Because if things made sense we’d all be in trouble. You drive too fast down the street because it feels good or because you’re in a hurry. Now if things made sense, a cop would stop you every single time and give you a ticket. Now what happens if a cop *does* stop you? You get angry and say that’s not fair! Of course it’s fair. It also makes sense. But if life made sense we’d either behave ourselves a hell of a lot better or we’d be walking around scared, waiting to be punished 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 them. Good people get their necks 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 than a fair one?”
