Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker mistook an impersonation of love for the genuine emotion. It implies that they were deceived or misled by someone or something that initially appeared to be love or affection, but later turned out to be insincere or false. The metaphor of a wrong number indicates a mistaken connection, emphasizing the speaker's disappointment or disillusionment when they realized the truth. It reminds us to be cautious and discerning when it comes to love and to question the authenticity of what initially appears to be genuine.

There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship -- be it JC or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles -- is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.

An investigator starts research in a new field with faith, a foggy idea, and a few wild experiments. Eventually the interplay of negative and positive results guides the work. By the time the research is completed, he or she knows how it should have been started and conducted.
