Last night I discovered that the yarn on one edge of my
throw blanket was knotted together. The individual pieces were tangled instead
of loosely hanging as designed. The other side was completely free from
problems, but this one was a mess. Some strands were easily pulled out, but more
often so many were intertwined that I could only loosen one to get to another.
I spent more than an hour freeing the yarn from interwoven knots.
Isn’t life often the same way? We attempt to deal with a
problem and find that it involves a whole knot of issues. Far too often we implement
easy answers that don’t work because the difficulty is too complex.
