religious giving-up children

The difficulty really is psychological and exists in the perpetual torment that results from your saying to yourself, "But how can it be like that?" which is a reflection of uncontrolled but utterly vain desire to see it in terms of something familiar. ...

Nobody knows how it can be like that. Richard P. Feynman
