If you don't believe there's some organising principle, or somebody up in the sky pulling the strings, then it can be very stressful. And nature itself is very arbitrary - it's not malevolent or benevolent; it doesn't even know we're here.

如果你不相信有什么组织原则,或者天空中有人在幕后操纵,那就会非常有压力。自然本身是非常武断的——它不是恶意的,也不是仁慈的;它甚至不知道我们在这里。
