Empty Filing CabinetSo we keep looking for the answer but it isn’t there.
So we look harder, staring at the empty filing cabinet, willing the answer to appear.
Then we beat ourselves up in the hope that the answer will appear.
But the cabinet is still empty.
So we look harder and beat ourselves up even more.

And the cabinet still stares back at us.  Empty.

In despair we consult another person hoping they have the answer. Their filing cabinet is empty too. But heck, it’s prettier than ours, so let’s carry on looking there.

In time we are disappointed in them because they don’t have the answer they promised. Charlatans!

We decide to go look again in our cabinet. But no, it’s still not giving up its secrets from the empty vaults.

Then some bright spark asks us to feel for the answer. We tell them to stop confusing us.

One day. If we just work long enough, hard enough, smart enough. We’ll open the cabinet and the answer will be there, right in front of us. One day. But not now.

The answer is nowhere.

Enjoy the search!

Someone, pass me the popcorn?
