Summary

This quote suggests that finding joy and contentment in the simplicity of a stable and peaceful home life requires patience. Those with moody and unpredictable personalities tend to gravitate towards unhappiness and turmoil. It implies that individuals who are unable to remain calm and measured may struggle to appreciate the beauty and tranquility that can be found in the comforts of domestic life. In contrast, those who possess patience are more likely to embrace domestic bliss and find fulfillment in the ordinary aspects of their everyday lives.

But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, How did it all begin?, science answers, Probably by an accident. To the question, How will it all end?, science answers, Probably by an accident. And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, Why are we here? and, to the question, What moral instructions do you give us?, the science-god maintains silence.
