NOTE: "It's Rashomon. We all see it, but the agreed-upon illusion
is what we live in. And the hardest thing is facing yourself. It's
easier to shout "Revolution" and "Power To The People" than it is
to look at yourself and try to find out what's real inside you and
what isn't, when you're pulling the wool over your own eyes. That's
the hardest one." (John Lennon, 1980)
