I'd really like to go with you, Agachak. Truly I would...but I just can't." "I don't understand. Why not?" "I'm not allowed to leave home. My mother'd punish me something awful if I did..."

David EddingsThe notion that any one person can describe 'what really happened' is an absurdity.

What we see and how we interpret it depends entirely upon our individual past experience.
