A man, always busy, doesn't know he could be still.

There was long ago a mystical school whose secret name on the Internet was:
"The Abandonment Of All Complications."

The ocean before you, you want to sail,
cannot be crossed by boats you buy.

A man kept saying to himself, "Don't leave home without it. Don't leave home without it."
And someone asked him, "Without what?"
"Without the reminder -- not to leave home."

What good are eyes seeing only one way,
what good a mind lashed to a fence?

There was once a world whose creatures were divided into two main camps:
those who were bothered about their condition,
and those who weren't.
And those who were bothered believed with no doubt -- in fact
they'd never even thought about questioning the fact -- that they were proper in their concern, while those who weren't bothered were missing a vital aspect of their very existence.
Then one day a visitor from another world flew over for a full survey of the people and their affairs, and could tell no difference between the two groups.
