Some of us with tiny paranoia issues think that so much information and understanding is being withheld from us -- by colleagues, by family, by life, by God -- knowledge that would save us, and help us break the code and enable us to experience life with peace and amusement.  But in our quieter moments we remember that (a) there are no codes, and (b) if you are paying attention, plenty is being revealed.
