Zen Master Yoda

“What was the point again?”
The Chemical Buddha would sometimes lose track of his stories and they would wonder all over the place. Until he would eventually become aware that he didn’t know what he was talking about and would then ask the question above. On occasion, this would also serve as his answer when people asked him the meaning of life. And, believe it or not, people seemed to get a lot out of his answering their question with a question. (It was a little trick TCB picked up from the little known character of Yoda from the art film The Empire Strikes Back.) Although his ‘question answers’ would leave people scratching their heads, they would always keep thinking about it until they came to a conclusion that satisfied them. TCB thought it was brilliant, we thought it meant people only wanted answers they were ready to hear.
How often do you wander through life looking for ‘the’ answer?
Do you really seek ‘the’ answers or just an answer that justifies what you want to do?
