A Cup of the Same Wine
Once
upon a time Confucius, the Buddha and Lao Tzu walked into a bar. The bartender
served each a cup of the same wine.
Confucius
said, “This wine is sour.”
The
Buddha said, “This wine is bitter.”
Lao
Tzu said, “This wine is sweet.”
And
why? Because Confucius himself was sour about the immorality of the world; the
Buddha was bitter about the sufferings of the world; and Lao Tzu was sweet
about the harmony of the world.
Moral: Perception is relative.
Comment: To me the wine is salty, but that's only because I myself am salty about the absurdity of the world.
