an important important important question to all mice still searching for the cheese and to all mice grown complacent enough to think cardboard mazes exist in nature:When ignorance is the state of the matter, and the truth shall not set you free, can peace of mind be found in denial?

...Cardboard mazes exist in nature...? You mean those who have given up, content to believe that this is all natural, and not a puzzle.

I always have to try and translate everything you write...

But... if you're curious as to answers... denial cannot give piece of mind, like ignorance can. Denial means that you are ignoring the truth. Ignorance means you do not know it. Ignoring the truth eats away.

I'm curious- why do you call us... mice? ....It makes me think of lab rats.

content? mmmmmmmm, i'll give you an H for ~*~honesty~*~
but what does ignoring the truth eat away at?
mice are herbivores yet often like cheese

...An H for Honesty? Perhaps I should work on that for a better grade... Very well.

Ah... at the mind and heart, I would assume. You can only lie to yourself for so long- or so idealism says.

you have until saturday to correct your wrongful ways!
what happens after the heart's been eaten all the way through?

[subject_e0057]

My wrongful ways?
It's simply a metaphor. I imagine they can never be truly happy, denying what they know to be the truth. As much as these are things we'd all love to ignore and forget, we eventually have to come to terms with... well. ourselves and the reality of things.

come to terms
you make me think of hermit crabs

[subject_e0057]

Hermit crabs? In that I hide, or in that I have pincers? And what does this have to do with coming to terms?
