Think of a fulcrum...a seesaw is a teeter-totter. Remember the trials it took to learn to balance both sides of a seesaw on a playground? Slides...those merry-go-rounds on every playground, where one person pushed and ran and then jumped on with squeals and giggles? And swinging, too. I tried to figure out how to swing all the way around, as a munchkin, or swing really high and jump out and...fly! Life was much simpler, then.
I really liked "Flowers for Algernon", the play, and later the film, "Charly." As a wannabe director, the last scene in "Charly" was so simple but brilliant: one sees Charly, intelligence gone again, sitting on a swing....!
