The Lesson TRULY Learned

Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.
Po: Do you hear the grasshopper which is at your feet?
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Anyone here should have learned this particular lesson WELL long ago, 

even before the early '70's when this first episode was aired 

("Kung Fu: The Way of the Tiger, The Sign of the Dragon" 1972)

There are those reading this who believe they DO KNOW the answer to Po's final question, but they are just kidding themselves. How can someone else know this? Simple, just read what they write day after day after day - and, the fact is, it only requires a handful of days, at MOST, to discover the truth - They Have No Clue "how it is that they do not!" and even less of an interest in knowing.

People who are ALWAYS talking about "ideas", "theories", "conjectures", "conspiracies", "complaints", "criticisms" and the countless other diversionary tactics the mind (Life) uses to keep all people quite Asleep-on-a-Slab in the Cold Room, could not "keep it up any longer", ANYMORE than could someone who discovers their daily diet, of "whatever-the-hell-that-crap-IS", has maggots growing on the inside. Do you really believe that after their Realization they would (COULD) keep it up any longer?

There are those reading this who expect to be TOLD the answer to Po's final question, and to them, here is the only appropriate response: Find Out For Yourself! And remember Grasshopper, they will KNOW YOU by your fruits, and that means, your writings.
