Wonderful parable: solid and empty

Solid — something that you can rely on does not fail. Are words or figures that can be trusted. The person on whom you can rely on — will not fail. A car that is fully functional and filled with gasoline at the right moment and starts up and go. Solid is solid.

Empty — something that you cannot rely on will fail. Information that may be false or incomplete, inaccurate. The soldier who scared and run away. A friend who will promise and not do. Factory that spoils the material, not producing anything suitable. Empty is empty.

Learn to distinguish the solid from the empty — most important of all the arts.





The combination of solid and empty gives empty. What it can give?! Many human deeds are made waste, because they contain something blank.

A little boy my grandfather gave it to other people to teach the craft. But they did it and are still very badly treated him. When the boy became too much to bear, he wrote grandfather a letter. In detail and clearly outlined their troubles, but that the address on the envelope was written very vague: "the village of my grandfather". Will not come a letter with this address, will wait in vain the boy her grandfather.

The content of the letter is solid. But the address is empty. The result is empty.

We are in the situation of the boy more than our egos want to believe it. After all, if among the twenty elements of solid — actions — at least one was empty — all efforts were in vain.

The separation of the solid from a blank similar to the action of the knife, cleaning the Apple. The smell of apples each time reminds us of this highest of arts — Department blank from solid. published
