Chapter 4
"That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr. Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber?" (page 76-77)
This simile between moments in life and bugs trapped in amber really explains the Tralfamadorians beliefs. There is no why, each moment simply is. Just like bugs in amber, we are trapped in the moment. Each moment is set in stone, and humans simply move from moment to moment, trapped in each one.
