Hide, or go seek.

In a shotgun search, emotional concern falls to the rear. And while compassion remains in sight, the truest aim stands leveled at the desire of the self. The query can not yield authenticity if the wants and needs are relegated to a secondary stance. In a rare case, selfishness is vital, for it provides the connection and understanding of happiness; deferment only prolongs the inevitable collapse. And as if it were a hunt, the outcome of which determined survival, the seriousness with which it all takes place needs to vanish with the realization that it's all in good fun. The winners are those who've figured out that it's a game, and the goal is just to play.
