“Where do I look for the truth,” asked the child.
“The tree,” replied the traveler.
“Will I find it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I want an answer that is clear … a truth that is black or white. Is that possible?”
“I don’t know but I encourage you to keep studying the tree because you’ll get closer to the truth.”
“And when will I know when I’m closer to the truth?”
“When you can tell me which came first–the seed or the tree.”
