First of all: rice doesn't have that kind of agency

Second of all: shooting at a grain of rice in your bowl with an assault rifle is many times more likely to hit you than that specific grain of rice

Third, if that's REALLY the best analogy you could think of, you should just stop the whole "communicating your thoughts to other people" thing. Evidently it's not something you're ever going to get the hang of.

Fourth and finally: a propos of nothing except the fact that I just listened to an episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, horses are overrated, and not just by the McElroy brothers.
