Human beings are
full of contradictions. We want what we don’t have. We get tired of what we
struggled to get. We say one thing but do another.
It’s not just people
who behave this way, throughout the universe things are happening that aren’t
supposed to be happening. We think we know how something works and then it does
something completely different.
We like patterns, we
like working out the rules and being able to predict events. But there’s always
an exception to the rule. An anomaly will arise. The unexpected will turn up
with alarming regularity. And when this happens our reaction is to take a
closer look. We are fascinated by contradiction and want to examine it for
answers, even when there are none to be had.
This urge is
powerful and is just as strong in the fictional world as it is in the real one.
