Student to Master:
Revered Master, please tell me why I am so unhappy.

Reply: From your tone and posture, so suggestively
this I can say unreservedly:
it's because you have taken yourself too seriously.

I like this a lot. Great insight.

Why do I feel so full yet empty inside?
 oh master of wisdom.

It is because you filled your vessel with
stone-like worrisome thoughts that have weighed you down.
