A parable about a parable: Kafka's parable.

We go threw life questioning our ability to the laws of truth. We continually ask why but asking why will not give you a right or wrong answer but merley give you the answer you new all along. Slamming a door in ones face protrays a mystery on the other side in which you will be invited to look beyond but when crossing the other side of that mystery in which you knew was there all a long just in the sense of asking why. Life is full of the truth and negativty that we oblige everyday but yet we still refuse to see the things around us. We as people easily are able to look threw one thing like it is not even there...and yet we still refuse to admit that if we had a keen sense of the things that life has put us threw we would have the answer to truth...and mystery but we are only humans in with that comes mistakes, growth, and the abilty to stop asking why or question mystery but to live within walls of truth within ourselves and logic within our questions.

I'll be back to give my interpretation in a while, I want to see what other people say first.

Great post my little tiger.

hmm. im not sur what the door represents. but if you think about it, he tried to bribe the guard at the door of Law...law..bribing..bribing...law...im pretty sure its AGAINST the law to bribe most people, such as officials and guards. perhaps he was so desperate to get in, he broke the law, and lost all that he had, which goes against the door itself. im with don on that last idea though about how simon should have used that door to figure it out himself. i don't know. just my thoughts.

Did someone say naked? I'm in ;)

i'm not even gonna read the rest.. lol just the last post.. and how did u get to naked?

Seems to me like the bit in Enter the Dragon where Mr Lee (Bruce) is with his student and he says, '...It's like a finger pointing to the moon..'
The student looks at lee's finger.
Lee slaps the student's head and retorts:
'Don't watch the finger, or you will miss
all the heavenly glory'

Well, more of an instant version, maybe. Perhaps we all focus on the wrong things etc
