Chris, which of these is a deeper statement?

(1) I feel trapped by the only tools I have for achieving salvation?

(2) I feel trapped by my tendency to make social blunders?

I don't know about you, Chris, but to me (2) sounds like a statement
that could be made by any shy person you might find on the street.  On
the other hand, (1) is a deeply philosophical statement.  It is a
snake eating its own tail that leads you spiralling down to the bottom
tortoise holding up the world.
