being grown ups

on the responsibility of being and understanding (or understanding being, for that matter)...

does simplification of everything into judgements of good and bad really make it easier for children to understand life, pain, tragedy, cruelty, and ultimately death or is it really the grown ups who placate their own fear by creating a black and white good and evil delusional rationalization to avoiding facing the responsibility and colors of their own actions in this life, on this planet, and in this universe?...
