/ A novice asked the master: "In the east there is a great tree-structure       \
| that men call 'Corporate Headquarters'.  It is bloated out of shape with      |
| vice-presidents and accountants.  It issues a multitude of memos, each saying |
| 'Go, Hence!' or 'Go, Hither!' and nobody knows what is meant.  Every year new |
| names are put onto the branches, but all to no avail.  How can such an        |
| unnatural entity exist?"                                                      |
| The master replies: "You perceive this immense structure and are              |
| disturbed that it has no rational purpose.  Can you not take amusement from   |
| its endless gyrations?  Do you not enjoy the untroubled ease of programming   |
| beneath its sheltering branches?  Why are you bothered by its uselessness?"   |
