Olympiad: thinking traps and what helps first ★★★, sentence 4
Not every hard thought is a trap: "I miss Grandad" is simply true, and so is "I was unkind to Leo"; the aim is not to argue with true sadness or fair guilt, but to stop the traps from piling extra pain on top.
Who acts: hard thought, aim, I · What happens: not be, miss, be, stop, pile · To what, where: trap, Grandad, Leo, traps, extra pain, top · Speech: someone speaks here
