[From A Hot-Eyed Moderate]
We are as much rule- as tool-making creatures because few of our behavior patterns are handed to us in our genes.
...
The human appetite for justice is so often thwarted in life that one of the chief activities of fantasy is to punish or reward those people who deserve but seem to receive neither in life. We are so frustrated by not only the lack of plot but also by lunatic accident that we invent heaven and hell to correct the meaninglessness and error in this world.
