We Always Seem To Be Surprised By Events, Especially By Catastrophes, But Also By Wonderful Events.

It Seems To Me That As A Species We Are Constantly Trying To Adapt Ourselves To The Unexpected. In The Meantime, We Talk As If We Are In Control, And We're Not. This Seems To Me To Be The Truth About The Twentieth Century.
