One man had two wives --
one man had two masters --
one man had two homes --
one man had two jobs.

Everyone has two of something,
a situation that a few find destructive.

Sitting on his back steps, a boy mused, "How come that sometimes things seem simple,
and at others seem complex? And why can even the same thing at one time seem simple,
then later complex?" And after mulling on this self-proposed question for a bit he looked down
at his dog, lying in the yard, and said to him, "How come you think that is, Bosco?"
And as a lesson in nonverbal approaches to problems, Bosco was tempted to jump up and
run over and bite the lad with no warning, but withheld the action, remembering that he had
not had his most recently due rabies shots.

A man once asked himself, "What would it be like to be conscious but unable to speak?
...not merely mute, but lacking a language?"
More than a few people unknowingly speak of liberation and enlightenment throughout
their lives while having no awareness or interest in same.
(It seems as though, just like the rest of us, life daydreams.)

The speaker so spoke:
"You live life physically, but think you do mentally."
And a voice in the crowd called out:
"So? The point being?"

A man went to a doctor about a complaint,
and after a brief examination the physician said,
"Your problem is obvious."
And the man said, "Strange...that's what the obvious said to my problem about me."

One man one day said to himself:
"The most destructive aspect of knowing that men before me have gotten free
is that I want to compare myself to them."

And now back to The Big Prize Game:
Okay, contestants, here's the final big question:
To a man of greater awareness, what is even worse than the destructive?
...Okay, what's that you say, contestant number four...you say "the annoying"?
Hey, we have ourselves a winner here!
