Because human are complicated beasts. How can a queen be both a good witch and bad witch? How can a prince be a murderer and a saviour? How can apothecary be evil-tempered but right-thinkinh? How can a parson be wrong-thinking but good-hearted? How can invisible men make themselves more lonely by being seen? . . . . . . . . Your mind will believe in comforting lies while also knowing the painful truth that make those lies necessary. Amd your mind will punish you for believing both.
