"You will always find an answer in the sound of water."

​- Zhuangzi

The Fountain

Picture
A guy was walking along the sidewalk in a city.

He did not have much to do, certainly nowhere to go of import.

He noticed that he was surrounded by a lot of people, but everyone around him was walking past him going in the opposite direction.

They were all straight-faced with a one track mind on where they “had to be”.

He was so consciously cognizant of all of this, he suddenly stopped right in the middle of the sidewalk and laughed to himself with a hearty chuckle.

He came to a fountain in the middle of the city. Looking into the water, he sees all of the coins dropped in there.

He dropped one in himself.
