“As children, we played hide and seek with one another, as adults with ourselves.”

“I was hiding my heart and you were hiding yours too and we played hide and seek together and both of us lost.”

“What do we do with ourselves when we find we have failed to become the adults we dreamed as pious children?”

“Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don’t usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.”

“Let us play hide and seek in a mountain which is like a women's back.”

“I wondered then why children played so in the river, but adults ceased to see it with the same eyes. Why couldn't we embrace such simple joys?”
