Like a Hydra |
“An unsolved problem seldom sits there, in stasis. It grows new heads, like a hydra. One lie— one act of avoidance— breeds the necessity for more. One act of self-deception generates the requirement to buttress that self-deceptive belief with new delusions. One devastated relationship, unaddressed, damages your reputation— damages your faith in yourself, equally— and decreases the probability of a new and better relationship. Thus, your refusal or even inability to come to terms with the errors of the past expands the source of such error— expands the unknown that surrounds you, transforms that unknown into something increasingly predatory.”**
