Percy was a medical doctor who didn’t practice and a Catholic who did, which equipped him to embark on a search for how we mortals fit into the cosmos. His theory examines when a bad thing is inevitable, for example, a meteorological occurrence such as a hurricane or a brutal winter storm. People feel better because they are focused on something and know what they must do to preserve a state of well-being for themselves and others; when there is no conflict, no focus, people have the luxury to feel badly. Fine. Item #298
