“Consider one of life’s original situations: that of a ‘Hide ‘n seek’ game. What a thrill to be hidden while someone’s looking for you, what a delightful fright to be found, but what a panic when, because you are too well hidden, the others give up looking for you after a while & leave. If you hide too well, the others forget you. You are forced to come out on your own when they don’t want you anymore. This is hard to take. It’s like turning too fine a phrase, so subtle that you are reduced to explaining it. Nothing is sadder than having to beg for existence”

I hope you’re not lost, Ms Scarlet, for I am. However, I don’t mind so much as I like being hidden.

I think today’s (4th of August) Cul de Sac describes the problem with Hide ‘n Seek pretty well.
