Have you ever been in a corn maze?
A corn maze, for those of you that don’t know, is a maze cut out of a corn field. As if you couldn’t get lost in a corn field anyway, someone decided to make it even more difficult. You walk into the cut down opening to find yourself engulfed in stalks of corn two feet higher than your head, directly in front of you, on both sides and behind you too. You take a step only to get the leaves slapping you in the face and arms. You watch the ground to follow the rows of corn but when you look up, it seems you’ve gone nowhere because it looks the same as it did twenty steps ago. You hear nothing but the rustling of the stalks as you pass them. Eventually you realize you must follow the openings to get through the maze. Then you remember; it is a maze. The openings do not neccessarily take you out. They become dead ends. So you wander aimlessly around a corn field until you find an opening and there is no corn in front of you, just a farmer smiling and clapping his hands.
