>Everybody don't have to have a reason to be someplace.
>That's so, said the judge. They do not have to have a reason. But order is not set aside because of their indifference. Let me put it this way, if it is so that they themselves have no reason and yet are indeed here must they not be here by reason of some other? And if this is so can you guess who that other might be?
>No. Can you?
>I know him well.
>This is an orchestration for an event. For a dance in fact. The participants will be apprised of their roles at the proper time. For now it is enough that they have arrived. As the dance is the thing with which we are concerned and contains complete within itself its own arrangement and history and finale there is no necessity that the dancers contain these things within themselves as well. In any event the history of all is not the history of each nor indeed the sum of those histories and none here can finally comprehend the reason for his presence for he has no way of knowing even in what the event consists. In fact, were he to know he might well absent himself and you can see that that cannot be any part of the plan if plan there be. The evening's progress will not appear strange or unusual even to those who question the rightness of the events so ordered.
What did he mean by this?
