Reflection

As you walk down the path, you begin to question yourself and your purpose. You visualize another of your being right in front of you, and challenge him of your uncertainties.

"What is it again am I after?"

"Where am I supposed to be?"

"Why am I seeking something at all?"

Though you don't expect anything from the other you, it still pains the soul to find no hints to the questions you wanted answered the most. Yet you realize it is a necessary ordeal in order to expunge the doubt that remains up to this moment.

Confused Even More

"Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito!" an old man called out to you.

Someone caught you by surprise, but you caught what he said so you react, "Whoa! What the?! I never even thought of that! What has the cannon have to do with a mosquito?"

"The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it," he answered.

You clearly get confused. Hoping to make things clear, you asked, "Are you talking to me, old man?"

To which he grimly interjected, "What. Is. The. Sound. Of. One. Hand. Clapping?"

He glared at you, as if he were expecting you to answer. But you shut silent and left--you left confused even more than before.

Then the old man smirked.
