<< Day 1

"I am an expert," a man proclaimed. "Lend me your ears and I shall guide you."
No one paid him any attention, so he repeated himself, louder the next time.
Still, no one listened to his announcement. So, he repeated it again, shouting even louder.
"Why won't anybody listen to me?" he asked solemnly. "I am confused, and I don't know why this is happening."

All of a sudden, several people encircled him, each proclaiming they knew the answer.

Since I gave such a long exposition yesterday, I won't give the answer away this time around. Just a reminder though, don't take it literally. Think of how the realization would apply to driving peeves or traffic violations. Don't ask about it in the comments section. Just share your tale, and I'll reply if you got it right. In any case, no story is wasted, because if you make a mistake, you can reuse it in a future koan that it would apply more appropriately to. The important thing is to just share your stories. That's the most zen thing you can do in this situation.

I'm not a cruel person, so I'll give you a clue. This one is more of a peeve than a violation. In fact, this one is often used to aid you, but when used against you, it does more harm than good. I know that you can figure this out. Look to the story, and don't be blinded by literal interpretations. Think about what befell the man who was a self-proclaimed expert. Lower your guard, and eventually you'll see the light.

If there would be no correct answers, no one would be a winner for this day and the slot would be reserved for a wild card. 15+ SBD is on the line, people. I know it might not be much for some, but for others it could go a long way. Share this opportunity to them so that they could have a chance to earn.

I forgot to mention it before, but for people who have some money to spare and they want to add to the prize pool, feel free to do so. I would very much appreciate any donation to increase the prize given to the winners. Please contact me in the comments section or on chat :D

Looking forward to all of your entries!
