Adults often play "peekaboo" with truths; sometimes for fun, sometimes to simplify life, sometimes in deadly earnest to avoid trials and tribulations. "Peekaboo- truths" can be child's play; and it can be the play of domineering supporters of "The Domination System" --- with deadly consequences. Enduring truths continue to endure when people of any age hide the truths, or hide from the truths. Playing collusive games of mutual self deception about enduring truths --- does not make them fail to endure. It is more likely to make those who play the game in dead earnest to fail to endure; often tragically so. The consequences of games of mutual self deception are rarely the consequences which were intended by the players of the games. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
