A Teaching/Reading

Dear friend! I wish to teach you.

We have both been schooled. What shall you teach me? (shall - near
future - I *will* teach you eventually - ACCEPTANCE.)

I know wisdom you do not.

How do you know that? (suspicion? Make sure you get/learn something from
it?)

If you do, you do not use it.

How do you know that?

I shall teach you how to know.

(interest! In gaining *knowledge*? Or *anything*?)

Teach me. (Get to the point. Give it to me. GREED!)

I shall teach you.

(silence. (You said that already...) IMPATIENCE?)

Do you know, no one can know everything?

I know. (Get to the point!! Teach me something!)

Then I have failed.

Failed? (CONFUSION! A superior, teacher, failing? ... superior?!
what...friend, I thought...equal, I thought...)

But I try to know as much as I can.

Yes. (Understanding. Ah...yes, we are equal. No superior.)

So I teach you.

(you said that...twice now...)
Teach me. (Agree - You are correct, teacher. But really: Get to the
point!)

I cannot.

(Confusion! Shock! Disappointment. Anger...LIES)

You must learn by yourself.

(...)

You live in a box. The box is everything you know and have known.

It is a grand box. (proud of a box! Insignificant, sheltered box!)

Yes. Now step out of the box!

What? (how dare you!)

Look at the box from the outside.

Ah-...(hesitation to understand...anger)
What outside? (...does not know!)

There is more.

More...

Outside.

Of the box...

Yes.

(pause. silence. thinking. REALIZATION)

Ahh...
(UNDERSTANDING)

We know more.
