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.
