For everyone who takes Zen too seriously
So, today, something that totally made me laugh. I have to admit that I have never actually read Terry Pratchett. When I was younger I wasn't aware of his existence, and when I got to know about him, had already too much other things to read. But I guess one day I will definitely get to read properly some of the stuff. Well, anyway, all my knowledge about Pratchett comes from a friend of mine, and she sent me this quote this morning to make me smile (it's from Wyrd Sisters).
The setting: some faraway kingdom, not too splendid a court, but there of course porters and a court fool. A witch comes over to visit the king and nocks at the door. A porter and the fool have the following conversation:
"There's a knocking without", the porter said.
"Without what?" said the Fool.
"Without the door, idiot".
The Fool gave him a worried look. "A knocking without a door?" he said suspiciously. "This isn't some kind of Zen, is it?".
