I am reminded of a line from Jayber Crow wherein a farmer is talking about growing and using leverage to get bigger and bigger.

This isn’t an exact quote, but someone said in response to being over leveraged:

“…a lever has two ends. Where is the fulcrum going to go?”

Troy was bound and determined to leverage his way into success and never thought about the downside of that strategy!

Even if Troy is hardly a protagonist or an admirable character, his various failings represent the tendencies that we all have in our own humanity.
