////////////////
This issue: A Scholar and The Wiseman
///////////////

Once upon a time, an arrogant and distinguished scholar
visited a "Wiseman" with intention to "humble" him with
his intellectual qualities.

Scholar: I demand that you provide the correct answers
to my questions, to prove that you are not bluffing people
posing as a Wiseman.

Wiseman: Please sit down and we can start immediately
over some freshly brewed tea... here, hold the cup while
I pour some for you.

Wiseman: Filled the scholar cup with tea, kept pouring
until it was over-flowing and still continued pouring...

Scholar: Stop, Stop, stop immediately "are you blind"
the cup is full and overflowing, don't you notice it?

Wiseman: Ah yes, come to think of it, the cup is certainly
full... just like a drunkard that can't drink any more, even
when wine of exceptional quality are offered.

Entering an expensive university program won't make you
an educated person, anymore than entering a music store
will make you a musician.
