Summary
People often are pleased with the illusion of choice, to feel as if they have control over their perception of the world once it turns its back on them. A wounded dog learns to lap at fresh wounds while at its attacker's side, and a hungrier one knows that the hand that can no longer feed it only becomes an opportunity for bloodlust. Once sweetness is detested, bitterness has already made a home on your pink tongue. When you get a taste of it, no one has complete control over that thumping organ that births butterflies of yearning for self-destruction. There isn’t a single person alive capable of easily ridding the pest of intrusive thoughts that chew at the integral wiring of your brain after you’re let down one too many times. No one can accomplish that.
At least, not alone.
