MOVE SIDEWAYS
An elderly Buddhist monk once asked a novice, “If taking a step forward or backward both spell death, what would you do?” Without hesitation, the novice replied, “I shall move sideways.”
The inspiration from this theory is: a side road is a path too. Hence, when a path is filled with trammels, it may not be necessary for us to continue threading on it till night falls; when we see no hope on the path we are on, move sideways.
This is a widely known theory. However, many people who are living in this complex world would still be drawn into a swamp, as we would have forgotten this notion in the midst of our confusion.
