Q

receipts ‘might fly our lives like paper kites’

A

-‘paper kites’ reflects the illusion of human control — we believe we are free agents, yet external forces, like nature or authority, subtly dictate our direction. similair to a kite, we hold the spool , expecting it to be under our control. we act as if were in control of wind and nature as we ‘know’ that wind will carry our kites for us, but this is ironic as wind sways kite in its own direction, suggesting nature has the real power over man

‘paper kites’ compound noun- fragile and easily destroyed. manmade power isnt permanent.
