So this is what I think: most of the people, but a few cases, probably convinced that the world and life are fundamentally (or should be) something consistent. Speaking with the people around me, happens to me often to come to this conclusion. When something happens in society or to individuals, people say now "and that this has happened and why so coli", and usually all agree, say 'ah, true, true, "but this I I just do not understand. Saying "it happened this because of that, "is like putting the rice with other ingredients in the microwave, push the button when the bell rings to open the door and pull out the ready-made soup. And where is the explanation? What really happens from when you press the button when the doorbell rings, you can not know why the bakery is closed. It may be that the rice in the dark without anyone noticing it first becomes a gratin of macaroni, rice and come back again. But we, when the bell rings, we assume that it has become soup. But I think it's only an assumption. I would be more peaceful if sometimes, when the doorbell rings, opening could find a gratin of macaroni. Of course I'd be surprised, but I also feel relieved. At least not so confused. In a sense it would seem like something more real.

You know what I look like me? For the most part de la gente vive creyendo que la vida y el mundo son, aunque con excepciones, básicamente coherentes. (Deberían serlo, claro). He llegado muchas veces a esta conclusión hablando con los que me rodean. Cuando ocurre algo, ya sea en el terreno social o en personal, siempre hay uno que dice “O sea, que ha pasado esto porque aquello era así y asá”. “Ah, claro!”, y se quedan tan campantes, pero yo no acabo de entenderlo. Decir cosas del tipo “Aquello es así”, “Por eso ha pasado lo que ha pasado”, es como meter en el microondas un chawan-mushi [1] instant, press the button, and when it rings the 'tin', open the door and you are ready the chawan-mushi! And where is the explanation? So, you know nothing about anything that happens, the door firmly closed, from the moment you press the button until the bell does "tin." Perhaps in the dark, the chawan-mushi instantly become, first, macaroni and cheese and only then, return to be, again, Chawan-mushi, without even suspect what happened is not it? Since we have gotten chawan-mushi instant in the microwave, we believe, as a logical consequence has to leave chawan-mushi. But that is only a guess. I, the truth, I would be more peaceful if ever, opening the door, macaroni and cheese came out after putting chawan-mushi instant in the microwave and press the button. I'd be surprised, needless to say, but at the same time, I would most peaceful. I think that, at least, I feel so confused. Because in a sense, that I seem more "realistic"
