It's a dream of mine that one day when I am much older, and nearer to death that I might be swept away from my bed and dragged at gunpoint to the office of one of the few point who *actually* know what's going on, in general, and have them do their villianous monologue to tell me the master plan and so on about all the bad things that are going on. Kind of like the end of "Brave New World" when the protagonist talks to the world controller and had his every suggestion for improving the system shot down. Already tried, experiment failed, impossible to fix. It's not so much that the plan is a good one, but that there would be an overarching plan in the first place. I want to believe that all of the pain and suffering we go through has a purpose. At least then you could rationalize it, I can't deal with senseless suffering. Even if they were completely malicious it would be a rare and small comfort to know that at least someone is in charge
