There is nothing in the world so difficult as that task of making up one's mind. Who is there that has not longed that the power and privilege of selection among alternatives should be taken away from him in some important crisis of his life, and that his conduct should be arranged for him, either this way or that, by some divine power if it were possible, - by some patriarchal power in the absence of divinity, - or by chance, even, if nothing better than chance could be found to do it?

As we wait in the bushes to embrace their heavy garments, the trespassers may think, cuddling themselves in their warm garments, ‘what a carefree people this was, a people much like ourselves before the cold.’ The trespassers idealize us, unaware of the many serious life lessons the recreationist would have been confronted with on any given visit: - No feeding the geese. If a man doesn’t know how to eat, he isn’t fit to teach lesser beings. - Pick up your trash. The park is a place where your children vicariously display your own values, but cutely. It is not a dumping ground. - Keep off the grass. Because Sunday is not Sin-day. Take your blankets into the woods for that kind of summer fun. ↗
