"There is a story in Zen circles about a man and a horse. The horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. Another man standing alongside the road, shouts, Â«Where are you going?Â» and the first man replies, Â«I don't know! Ask the horse!Â» This is also our story. We are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. The horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless."

-- Nhat Hanh
