We all get stuck in a rabbit hole. Some can easily get out of it. Others find it difficult to get away from it. But no matter how different our rabbit holes are they are similar in one way or another.
One thing for sure is that it is a wasteland. Red and blue pills will not help us in the same way it helped Alice in enjoying her adventures with talking animals, villainous queens and knights. We can always take medications, drink cocktails, binge on gourmet food or throw a mad tea party but it will always be unforgettable.
We cannot stuff a rabbit hole. It just gets smaller through time. As the lines from the movie "Rabbit Hole" says:
Becca: Did it ever go away?
Becca: Did it ever go away?
Nat: No, I don’t think it does. Not for me, it hasn’t - has gone on for eleven years. But it changes though.
Becca: How?
Nat: I don’t know… the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and… carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you… you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is. Oh right, that. Which could be aweful - not all the time. It’s kinda… [deep breath]
Nat: Not that you’d like it exactly, but it’s what you’ve got instead of your son. So, you carry it around. And uh… it doesn’t go away. Which is…
Becca: Which is what?
Nat: Fine, actually.
