We've been overtaken by peace, war, division and revisions.  Pulling the lens of the camera back and the full evaluation is that of the assumed unlocking of a path once thought to be unbreakable.  We keep walking in circles.  The cookie cutter eventually tosses to the side the excess unused remnants of a walking space that if not used will disappear.  Creatures of habit.  It's Bill Bellichick trying to piece together a college football victory using old techniques.
