From: Paul Hovnanian P.E. on
A priest asked the Master, "What is fate?"

The Master answered:

It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence.

It is that which men in formertimes had to bear upon their backs.

It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City
upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to
be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness.

"And that is fate?" said the priest.

"Fate... I thought you said Freight", responded the Master.

"That's all right" said the priest, "I wanted to know about Freight
too."

Here I thought it was just an ad for another Koan Brothers movie...

Before enlightenment, tote water and gather wood.
After enlightenment, tote water and gather wood.

I wouldn't even hurt Jesus!
