"And don't tell me God works in mysterious ways," Yossarian continued. "He's not working at all. He's playing. Or else He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you people talk about, a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?

Catch 22 will always be one of my favorite books. And I'm pretty sure I don't even really understand it.

Oh oh, thank you for sharing this. Definitely sets my mood at ease, as I've been thinking a lot of how sad and unfair the world is today. Have a wonderful day!
