Self-Expression...Mine and Theirs

"Void"

I didn't hear what I didn't hear,
And I felt detached.

I didn't see what I didn't see,
And I felt isolated.

I didn't feel what I didn't feel,
And I felt alone.

I didn't know what I didn't know,
And I felt free.

A priest asked, "What is Fate, Master?"

And he answered, "It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence. It is that which men in former times had to beat upon their backs. It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness."

"And that is Fate?" said the preist.

"Fate...I though you said Freight," responded the Master.

"That's all right," said the preist. "I wanted to know what Freight was too."
