Cherry? I'm too embarrassed to continue. A man. A woman. Walking towards opposite directions, on parallel lines. As they near, the woman reaches out with her hand and grabs the mans arm, “Caught you.” She says. Then she lets go and keeps walking. The man frowns, he looks at the direction he was walking, then turns around to look in the direction the woman was walking. He grinds his teeth and begins to run, “Wait! What will you do now that you've caught me!?” He yells, abandoning his path. Up ahead, where the man was walking, a monkey was taking a shit. “You have missed out on a wonderful opportunity.” The monkey says. You’re looking for a new jacket. Something red catches your eyes. It’s a beautiful coat, but much too bright for your eyes. A lady is nearby, watching as you delight in the coat. You shake your head, maybe another day. You walk away. The lady smiles, she takes the coat and she purchases it. You go about your life, eating, sleeping, working. The coat is still on your mind. You go back to the clothing store, you look, you search, but the coat is gone. You ask the employee about it. The last one was sold the day you were last at the store. The lady is now three times as rich. You are mighty. You have reached the peak of cultivation. Walking along the road one day, you see a beautiful red-haired lady, bathing by a spring, her bountiful treasure displayed for any who dared to look. “I must have her!” You say. You run ahead, trip on a white rabbit, and fall into hell. In a past life, you fell in love, you devoted yourself to a lady. In this life you are a hero. On a great quest, you are stopped on the road. “Why must you bar my path? The direction I walk on is righteous. It is for the good of the world!” You say as you draw your blade. The lady before you shakes her head, her blade is released and your head falls off your neck. This lady saved your soul. You did everything in right in life, you went to school, you found work, you got a wife, had children, and now you are retired. You go to the park one day, you walk by a play structure, and a small girl playing on the swings catches your eye. Is that your childhood crush? You are a very well-learned and intelligent man. Do you wish to stand on a mountain? You can stand there for eternity if you’d like. Successful men carry a weight with them, a ball of energy, a gravity. But some do not know that they are now bound by universal law. A child with power would destroy the world. A man would consume it. A god would leave it alone. Wisdom? I know nothing. Guidance? I have none. The path is ahead of you, why are you asking me?
