The Rock. . .
Who do you know to handle the sword best in this world?” a warrior asked his master.
“Go to the field near the monastery,” replied the master, “there is a rock there, I want you to insult it.”
“Why should I do it?” the disciple asked. “The rock will not answer.”
“All right, then attack it with your sword,” said the master.
“I really won’t,” said the disciple. “My sword would break. And if I attacked it with my bare hands, I would break my fingers and get no results. That’s not what I asked. I asked who handles the sword best in this world?”
“The best warrior is the one that is like that rock,” explained the master. “Even without taking the sword out of its’ scabbard, no one can defeat it”.
Peace and Love, Jim
