THE CLOSURE YOU GET

Seeing things more clearly doesn't mean they will look great. Sometimes it can be downright depressing in a given situation.

Which doesn't always have to be the case though. Just one of those things that turns out ugly at times.

And occasionally, if you are really lucky, you get to find those surprise moments when something really does get better when you get closer. Those are the ones that I think really count.

The problem is not having any kind of crystal ball or reliable method to know what situations allow you to find the good surprises from the bad ones. I wish I did, but I don't.

So when you dream of some plan being complete, you get this wonderful image of it ending up perfect, but it never does. Hopefully, though it doesn't look too hideous when it finally grows arms and legs. That is the real down side you understand.

As for solutions, well one can always close his eyes. It does even work at times. Or you find ways to not look. That is a big plus too.

Now the way you achieve that is by not going and actually looking at the fruit of your efforts. You just make up some excuse. That way if your offspring is some kind of mutant and deformed no problem. Denial is so wonderful.

But naturally, the big risk is if you don't look you will miss out when it does work too. That is the gamble of not looking.

The other option is to send somebody you trust to lie to you. That is a good choice if you are dealing with a person you trust to lie good enough.

There is nothing I hate more than a bad liar when you really need to be lied to. Which is also not exactly a thing you can ask on an employment application very easily.

So you have to cultivate finding a person with that kind of skill very slowly. It can be such a challenge.

Still, it is well worth the investment when you get that rich and savory feast of complete bull that actually tasted good, even if it has no nutritional value. And naturally, you never risk reading the ingredients either.

In the end if you have managed it all, the closer you get will always leave you with a smile. Then you can sit back and do the happy dance or whatever.

Hopefully, without the risk of stubbing your toe on that brick you aren't seeing while you keep your eyes close.
