Have you ever had a tangled necklace? Like, a real thin chain, and you put it in your pocket, but when you take it out it's all bunched together and tangled seemingly beyond repair. Well, how do you untangle it? Do you just grab a loose part and yank? No, of course not. Instead, you get in real close, and loosen one piece, then another, and another, until slowly, methodically, daresay... tediously, loosen the entire knot. At which point you can finally untangle it completely. However, if somewhere in your loosening piece by piece, you get frustrated, you may give up. But if you give up, you still have a tangled necklace. So, you look for someone to help you untangle it, relieve some of the frustration. But what happens next? Any number of the things. The person helping could make it worse, they could keep doing the same thing you were and not getting anywhere with it, or, if you're lucky, they loosen it up and make it easier for you. But sometimes, sometimes you can't have help. You have to untangle this knot in your own way.
My necklace seems to get more knots in it every day, but I have to untangle it... or I won't have a necklace.
