I just started binge-watching a tv show called Patriot (unexpectedly hilarious, if dark, spy comedy). There was one throwaway remark about how a spy handler would find an unlocated mark: > We have this principle we use when we're trying to locate someone who doesn't want to be discovered. > You are what you can't stop doing. > What that means is if we discover what someone is passionate about, then that person and that thing will intersect. Passion involves compulsion. And people, all people, have compulsions that draw them away from their safety and their best interests. People and what they love don't always intersect. People and their compulsions do. And John, well, he's compelled toward you. He's crazy about you. And it's a quote I have a hard time not thinking about, ironically..
