A patient in a mental hospital placed his ear to the wall of his room, listening intently.
Quiet, he whispered to an orderly and pointed to the wall. The attendant pressed his ear against the wall, listened, and then said: I don't hear anything.
No, replied the patient.
It's awful, it's been this way always!
There is no answer to man's ultimate questions because the questions are absurd, and moreover there is no one to answer them. Existence is silent and has always been so, so do not ask but be silent and live it and know it. Because there is no knowing except living.
The search for answers is meaningless.
