The root of the trouble

“I was raised by wolves,” I said.

“Well, not exactly,” she said. (She respects wolves.)

“You were raised by people you could not trust to know about things, so even if they were right some of the time, you had no way of knowing it.”

That explains why life so often feels like groping around in the dark.

You can get some bruises that way.

The instinctual shortcut that we take when we have “too much information” is to engage with it selectively, picking out the parts we like and ignoring the remainder, making allies of those who have made the same choices and enemies of the rest.
