Ben: I have a friend. He’s a physicist. And he does this thing where he talks about life in terms of physics.
Roy: Your friend sounds like a riot.
Ben: It’s actually more helpful than you’d think. For example, he’ll talk about states of matter. Like water. You heat it and heat it and heat it and nothing ever happens so you swear that it will never change, try as it might, until one day, poof! It’s steam. You didn’t try anything new that day. You just never quit trying to change it.
Roy: Your friend couldn’t just say, ‘Don’t quit trying to quit’ ?
