Carried: Shin Problems (IV)
“The direction I want to go in is exactly the one I've decided I can't be trusted with.”
The suspicion is turned inward on the inner side: whatever pull exists toward a particular life is judged reckless in advance, so the wanting itself gets treated as evidence of poor judgment. Caution is then applied with a severity that no external situation is demanding, and every desired direction has to clear a bar set deliberately too high. Where the previous shape distrusts the road, this one distrusts the traveller. What the shape asks for is one desire acted on before it has been fully vetted.
Phaethon, who took the reins once and confirmed for everyone afterwards that he should never have been given them. The form implies a task: to drive again, on a shorter route, and revise the verdict.
