I stared at the softly rocking shards of ceramic and remembered hearing of plenty of camel backs broken with many more straws. So many people end up in a spiral of depression, or worse, triggered by a tiny problem.

But I quickly tried to think of the phrase of the opposite, the thin edge of the wedge? The capstone?
