"Old Saying Tells There's no Bargaining or Denial" by Susan Pearl

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck chances are it's a duck".


The irony of this old saying is that it is not about a duck.  It is about seeing something for what it is and  being able to name it for what it really is.

We have to name things for what they truly are and not allow for false hopes, false interpretations, false feelings or imaginary fantasies keep us from seeing things for what they really are....no matter who---no matter what.  It keeps us grounded.

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck chances are it is a duck"-----and we have to recognize things for what they are.  There is no bargaining--it is what it is---and we know it when we see it...because it is a fact based reality of recognition that cannot be denied.
