Well.. I must say I probably lack the intelligence to fully decipher the metaphor.. but, it's interesting.
I mean, I guess there are different ways to understand it but the one way I picked was relating the whole story with the different kind of ways in which we could attempt to stop consumerism, whether is it based in also psychological ideas or other sort of materialism.. but how no matter how many ways we have to actually get rid of it, there's no way out because it's such a huge thing nowadays that there will -always- be a way to fall into it, whether concious or unconciously.
Or it could be way simpler.. and it just points out how people can just read something fully if it -tells- you that it will give you what you want to know/have.. just to find out that it's totally unrelated (like a cigarrete ad which would start with a neat cowboy intro to end up saying "marlboro"), but even if it's unrelated.. you keep going and end up reading it all (or buying the product).

Eh.. well I guess that's enough for a comment.. interesting piece still.

I greatly appreciate your in-depth explication of my work. My gratitude cannot be expressed in any words of the English language. The closest I can get is a simple, bidictionous phrase: thank you.

Another, more simple interpretation might be that, even if something doesn't turn out the way one expects it to, it can still be a helpful or entertaining series of events.

Hey you're the one that let me use my brain for a change! I should be the one thanking you.. it's not very easy to find something fun to read that also makes you think (even if I made things plain harder).

Either way, I'll return the politeness thanking you back for reading my blabbering. Gracias! (I would've felt bad if I didn't reply to that)
