Right Questions gives the right present.

An old monk was sitting under a tree, and a youngster asked, Master, are you meditating?

The monk said, "No."

The youngster asked him, are you thinking?

The monk said, "No."

The youngster thought for a while and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

With a smile, the monk said," I am living."

The youngster was confused and asked," Can you explain your answer?"

The monk said, being calm and quiet is a form of living. Life doesn't mean we should be busy, think, or meditate. Most people are occupied; they think about the past or the future or find solace through meditation. But they forget that being in the present is the best present they can give themselves.

The youngster said," Master, thank you for that beautiful explanation."

The monk said instead of assuming what I am doing, it is better to ask what I am doing directly; it will help you to get the correct answers. The monk added that you would get the correct answer if asked the right question.

With a smile, the youngster said, thank you, it was yet another lesson.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
