What is tommy's explanation of miss lucy's comment that they have been "told and not told" about their lives, and what does this say about human nature?

By saying this, Tommy means that the information has been given to them, but it has been given in such a fashion that they can never question it. The novel " Never Let Me Go" depicts how atrocity can become a way of life, obscured behind activities of daily life. It depicts how denial and apathy can completely hide the aspects related to human rights and how atrocity can become an accepted aspect of our daily lives.
