"A in the world you're simply not ready to accept."

I think it's the other way around. The world can be very dark, no question—but that darkness is messy and chaotic and caused by a million different things. theorists desperately want a single explanation for all of it. They feel like if they can identify and name it, that knowledge gives them a measure of control.

What they're not ready to accept is that there *isn't* a single source for all the pain and suffering, and even if you get rid of one, there will always be more to take its place.

The rest of us understand this. We know we'll never solve all the problems, or even most of them. Just do the best we can, with our own little corners of the world, and try to make things a bit better. Accepting that is a lot tougher, but it's worth the effort.
