Think about a time when you wanted to do X, and you decided that Y is the best way of doing so.
When a time came to explain what you were doing, instead of talking about X (the actual, original problem you set out to solve), you talked about Y (the solution that you decided was the best way to solve the problem).

Gangs have been synonymous with Glasgow since the 1800s. The poverty, squalor and terrible overcrowding of this great industrial city led to a harsh indifferent attitude to life and self-preservation.

I thought it might be fun to take a word we hear often enough and consider its history. I’m reading An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves and the Creation of America, by Henry Wiencek.

The human mind is like a sponge, particularly when we are young. It is predisposed to soak up knowledge and master skills.

In the daytime, humanity’s footprints on Earth are visible in numerous ways, even from space: the geometric patterns of our croplands, lush golf courses springing up from the desert like manmade oases, decades of river flow captured in reservoirs behind massive dams.
