Virginia Apgar, famous physician, multiplied by four, surrounded in graphite cells. "Nobody, but nobody, is going to stop breathing on me," she said to the world. Virginia Apgar was the woman behind the Apgar Scale, which all newborns are measured against to ascertain their health and vigor upon entering this material plane of existence.
The honesty of a newborn baby is absolute. That honesty stays with us forever. Sure, we get good at hiding it. But it remains. And endures. Health & vigor, on the other hand - these come and go. These are not our most faithful friends. And even the primordial honesty cannot be said to be our friend, exactly. It is just what we are, electric.
