“A
long tradition in psychology asserts that every individual operates somewhat like a
naïve scientist who needs to make sense of the world. Likewise, disciplines as fundamental as anthropology and existentialism assert that we are meaning-making creatures. When an unusual event occurs, we cannot resist developing a theory about its
causes. Even if incorrect, the explanation gives comfort by assuring us that the world
is predictable rather than random.”
― Theodore Millon, Personality Disorders in Modern Life
