Peek-a-boo

One can hide from a child.  Even allowing the child to cover their eyes might deceive them into believing the game, that you are gone.

I can't see you, you are gone.  *poof*

But for an adult to cover their ears and eyes, to metaphorically say "nanny nanny boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo" is beyond ludicrous.

I want to see life in its full Technicolor 360 degree glory.  I want to see every pleasant and unpleasant detail.

We live, we die. Those we love also die, sometimes in a horrible manner, sometimes pleasantly in their sleep, but usually somewhere in between.

Such is is the inevitable outcome of life.

Life is beautiful... a miracle if you want to use a supernatural term. But the world is not always fair or friendly.

DEAL WITH IT!!!

And to lend a bit of levity... from one of my favorite movies, Planet of the Apes... a deliberate tribute during Charlton Heston's testimony before the Ape tribunal.  (Not many people notice this fleeting image...)

Monkey see, monkey do?
