  You were at point A. You moved a step closer to point B. You are now one step farther away from point A. Distance from point A = A-X . X is you. To remove point B would cause you to always move inexplicably towards A. Because, you'd see that the world is no longer flat, and every direction is south again. Distance will again become an illusion. As will the prospect of choice. Farther. Closer. Away.
