Maybe she has all the answers and would like to share them?

isn't every end also a beginning?

Does a circle have a beginning?

no, but it has no end either, and is this a circle anyway?

Is it even possible to know if it's a circle or not before we end up where we began (if we ever will)?

What if it were a Möbius strip? Wouldn't we then arrive at the same place but on the other side? And what exactly would "on the other side" mean? Doesn't a Möbius strip really have only one side? So would we have to run around twice to arrive in the same place?

If it only has one side (as it seems), how is it possible for us to go around once and say that the place where we started is here, but on the OTHER side?

Have you ever made a Möbius strip out of a piece of paper? That is, have you every cut out a long strip of paper, formed a ring out of it, then twisted one end by 180° degrees and then glued the ends together? And then ran along the strip of paper with a pencil? Would you then not have noted that when you arrive at the beginning again after running around once you seem to have landed on the other side? And if you continued from there, would you then not have noticed that after running around with the pencil another time you will be on the "same side again", but your pencil marks will be on "both sides"?

What if I have and I still don't understand how is it possible to land on the other side of something that only has one side?

What if it is a paradox?

Does the fact that paradoxes exist prove that there is something seriously wrong about our logic and the way we perceive the world?

Does it not rather reveal the fact that our brains are made for interacting with the world, but not for understanding it?

Isn't it somewhat risky to try to interact with something we don't understand, and wouldn't it be safer for us to avoid interaction with the world as much as possible?

Don't we already experience the results of such an inept interacting?

Should we try to cut down on such interaction and hope for the best, or simply accept the irreversibility of the results of our earlier interaction and keep on interacting no matter what the results are?

Isn't the best solution (according to game theory, a mathematical branch that deals with exactly such problems) in a case where you don't know what to do to resort to some element of random, like throwing a coin or a die to determine your actions?
