Everything you think and choose and encounter, and all the threads are destined to get tangled up eventually. But at that point you can’t even really see the individual threads anymore. It’s just a giant knot. And even if you could pinpoint the threads that are causing you a problem, you can’t even get to them to pull them out.”
