sides. If it is cut from one side, the person from whose side it has been cut [ let us assume person A ] will lose that par t of the str ing permanently. �e other person [ person B ] will have his or her string tied in a knot with a broken piece of string of the other person. �is person can either keep it this way i. e. he or she will be living with a complicated past and a confused and broken relationship or the person can open the knot and throw away the small piece of the string of the other person. N o w t h a t s t r i n g o f person‘ B’ will be free again to be tied. �ere are t w o o p t i o n s after this. First option is, it can be tied to the same person
[ person A ] again, in which case, it will be difficult‘ cause the person A’ s string is short now and doesn’ t have much to contribute to the knot‘ cause if he or she does contribute, the tension that it will create will pull the string from its attachment at the chest of the person‘ A’ and he or she w i l l l o s e t h a t e m o t i o n p e r m a n e n t l y. Second option is that this newly freed string can be tied to someone else. If the string is cut from b o th sides with the scissors, both the persons will lose some part of their strings permanently and it will be extremely difficult, almost impossible to tie those strings with each other again. �e level of difficulty will depend on how many knots there were in the strings and how long a piece of string each one of them has lost. More the number of knots before cutting, longer the pieces of string lost, more difficult it is to tie it back again. Of course, it will be easier to tie that broken short string with the string of a third person who has longer strings and a lot to offer to the knot without creating any tension on
If an interaction starts on a negative note, for example when strangers fight in a bar over a trivial issue, it causes the strings of a person to get tied with strings of his or her own self
either side. If more than two people are interacting [ let us take three for example ], then three strings will be tied in a knot, like a braid and it will be more difficult to open that knot than the simple knot if and when there is a negative interaction. E a r l i e r w e m e n t i o n e d t h a t USUALLY, one string of person‘ A’ is tied to only one string of person‘ B’. �is is the case when both are contr ibuting e qually to the relationship. If one of the people [ let us assume person A ] is more involved in the relationship than other person [ person B ], then two to three strings of person A are tied with a single string of person B. �us, more percentage of the total strings of person‘ A’ is involved in this relationship and thus the person‘ A’ has lesser number of strings to contribute to the other relationships. Also, if this knot breaks,‘ A’ will suffer a greater loss. If an interaction starts on a negative note, for example when strangers �ght in a bar over a trivial issue, it causes the strings of a person to get tied with strings of his or her own self. �at is two or more than two strings of one person are tied in a knot amongst themselves by that stranger and vice versa. �e person opens these knots after the negative interaction is over, in this example, the next m o r n i n g a n d the strings are f r e e a g a i n. Usually, such n e g a t i v e interactions are a c c i d e n t a l c o n t a c t s between strings and do not leave a n y l a s t i n g impressions on people and can be repaired easily by just opening the knots by one’ s own self. �is is just the simple basic version of the theory covering s o m e b a s i c a s p e c t s a n d examples. More complicated versions of this theory will be thought of and applied to various situations. Till then, be careful who you tie your strings with!
