But there are also comebacks. One I am fond of, for whenever the contemplation becomes too abstract and speculative, is given by an "added saying" of the case 8 of the #BookOfSerenity (equiv. to #GatelessGate case 2):

- Does an enlightened person fall under the law of cause and effect or not?
- "Just do good, don't ask about the road ahead."

I found this #zen quip terribly funny, and humbling.
