I've heard mystery stories described as 'a blind man in a dark room looking for a cat that isn't there' unfortunately, that's my life & it's not a metaphor; ===I like to use the word 'simply' just as I like the word 'just', 'simply' & 'merely' when I mean 'only'; when I mean everything is individual no matter what it is; the universe, snowflakes, fingerprints; no two mirrors are alike, there are no twos; the blind man is still blind; the room is still dark; the cat is still black & it's still not there
