I do not envy the explorer who finds herself surrounded by the walls of a sadistic maze. In some cases, I even look down upon her. Sadistic mazes are designed to frustrate and overwhelm. To choose to enter a sadistic maze is to choose to subject yourself to the maze designer’s whim. As you are standing at an intersection, uncertain about the correct course, I advise you to not try to outthink the maze designer because in most cases he has not thought about you at all. If you would like to explore a maze designed with more compassion, I suggest you try a labyrinth.
