Writin about it becaUSe for some reason today it came across my mind for some fucked up reason. So, shit an old niggah had tah write about it. Read thah shit back in thah day becaUSe I was in ah bad way emotionally! Very bad! Anyway...what has always been imprinted in my heart was thah tale of thah, now I'm paraphrasin caUSe it's been awhile and shit and ah niggUS old...Anyway...she told, if I remember ah story of ah YOUng student Monk, who went up into the mountains to "Learn all that there is to know." about this life! This other seasoned Monk, that first settled him in with his Monkly spiritual quest afterwhich would bring him as many books he could possibly bring him weekly. But, everytime he left he would ask, thah YOUng student Monk, "Have you learned all that there is to know?". And the YOUng student Monk everytime would say, "No!"! And the seasoned Monk would rear back with his cane and crack him on the top of his head.
Well, time went on with the same routine. Nine months had passed since the genesis of his Monkly quest, that he was guided by Senior Monks to embark on, like his handler who brought him books weekly.
Well, on the 36th time, this Monk Seasoned handler. Set the Young Monks books neatly down. Looked at him with no expression as usual. And ask, "Have you learned all that there is to know?"! And the YOUng Monk said as usual, "No.". The seasoned Monk reared his cane back and was about to strike the YOUng student Monk as USual. But the YOUng Monk put his right hand on the Seasoned Monk's right forearm and said to the Seasoned Monk, "No more."!
The Seasoned Monk smiled at him. Bowed. "Very good. You have realised there is no such thing of knowing everything. Yet. You have learned how to stop the pain." Or some shit like that. Anyway...
(Peace! More to come...)
