random queries

.
Random queries floating through my mind:

-- How do you suppose things would change if you stopped explaining them?
   How do you suppose they'd change if you didn't?
   Either way, I imagine kindness would be important.

-- Suppose you discovered a wise hermit living in a faraway cave.
    Would he still be wise without your discovery?
    Ikkyu Sojun was once reported to have said: "I am not a Buddha. I am just an ordinary fellow who understands things."
