The bad perspectives are flying thick and fast, and some from you.

As a very confessedly non biblical example, there is the parable of the monkey and the nuts in the gourd. The trapper wants to catch a monkey so he makes a hole in a gourd that is just big enough for a monkey’s empty hand, and fills the gourd with nuts and affixes it to a tree. The monkey comes along, sticks his hand into the gourd, grabs a fistful of nuts, is unable to withdraw his hand from the gourd, and stands there raging until the hunter comes along. Had the monkey figured to take one nut out at a time, which would have been possible, he would have eaten and escaped the hunter too.

I assure you, I don't have a fistful of nuts.
