there seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. the first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. the second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. it seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. the roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. psychologists speak of the infantile(幼儿的)myth of omnipotence(万能). a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. he wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks. he cries, and someone comes to attend to him. when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen. 【文章大意】本文通过两位老人去世, 儿子都把责任归咎于自己。告诉我们世界上发生的所有事情都是有自己的因果关系, 没有必要为此感觉内疚。7. what is said about the two dead elderly women?
