Master, why do you read the Book Board ?
You caught me, my son.
But why do you read it?
The Book Board is life, my son.
It looks like a bunch of babble, master.
You have to look between the words.
Look between, master?
Yes, look between. What is between those two words?
Nothing, master. I see nothing.
Very good, "nothing" is life. Life is nothing.
Nothing, master?
Yes nothing ... as Will were wont to say, "... signifying nothing." ... The average person posts ... and thinks that there are X number of readers of his words ... and
he takes it further ... he thinks so many of the X will like his post ... and so many will not ... but he never imagines the nothingness of X ...
The nothingness of X ... is that today's lesson, master?
Close but no Prayer Wheel, my son ... the biggest part of X never read your posts ... can't spell your name ... don't even know that you're a monk ... in search of
truth ... and that, my son, is life ... people look at you ... and see "go" .. "pass" ... "stop" ... "opportunity - short ... or long" ...
They know you not ... and how can they ... they know not themselves ...
Even chasecarver, master?
Perhaps we'll never know that, my son ... perhaps we'll never know ...
Hmmmmmmmm ... the nothingness of life. Can I use that, master?
Sure ... kick some butt, kid ... .
