Talkin’ transubstantiation, any version will do
I believe that puzzles are miniature models of the inner workings of the imagination and thus, in doing them, we gain insights into ourselves. This unconscious process is, in my view, what makes them so appealing — and frustrating at the same time, when the answer is not found. Self-knowledge is always its own reward. This is why when we do get the answer we feel that everything is right in the world; when we don’t, we get a sense of chaos and veritable angst. It is difficult to put aside an unsolved puzzle, isn’t it?
