Re: Ok, I'm giving in


Sounds similar to the apocryphal "zen master" story that I think RAW repeats somewhere too.

The disciple, after many years of meditating, runs to the master, exclaiming "I understand! All is illusion! There is no you, there is no me, it's ALL ONE!!!"

The master listens expressionlessly, then suddenly kicks the disciple in the 'nads as hard as he can. The disciple turns white, and falls to the ground, unable to breathe. The master calmly asks, "Who hurts?"
