There is an old story of a man, Kwuanjo, who went to see a monk because
he was having great distress in the world. The monk welcomed him to the
monastery and let him stay in a hut just at the border of the monastery.
After a few months of meditation and contemplation Kwuanjo felt much
better and was happy.
Later that year the monk told Kwuanjo that he that he was going on a
trip to india and would not be back for many years. They hugged and they
parted.
Three years later the monk came back to the monastery. As he walked down
a path he saw Kwuanjo. Kwuanjo was very happy and excited to see the
monk. Kwuanjo thanked the monk repeatedly saying he was so glad to find
this place and he loved the land and most of all his simple hut.
Later that night, while Kwuanjo was in the temple meditating, the monk
walked to Kwuanjo's hut and burnt it to the ground. Seeing the flames,
all the monks came running. When Kwuanjo arrived he looked at the
burning hut, then he looked at the monk with the flaming torch in his
hand.
Tears came to Kwuanjo's eye as he smiled at the monk. The next day
Kwuanjo left, happier then he ever was.
You see, sometimes we don't see what we need and sometimes what we need
it given to us in unpleasant ways.
If one just say "neither" it is only your assumption that it did not
help.
You give your advise, others will give theirs.
