Confucius: You wonder why I am here?
Confucius: Do you not know who I am? Do you wish to die? Now tell me, who is it that you wish to deceive?
Confucius: Good. Now then, what is your name?
Confucius: Very well Vargas. If you are honest, you must be seeking my wisdom to improve yourself.
Confucius: So, what is it that you seek knowledge about?
Confucius: Ah, a noble pursuit indeed. Tell me, what is your current understanding of true love?
Confucius: Well, then, let me ask you a few more questions before I impart my wisdom. How do you currently treat those around you? Especially those less fortunate than you.
Confucius: And do you consider yourself fortunate?
Confucius: Interesting. And how do you believe those around you view your kindness?
Confucius: Hmm, I see. And do they show their gratitude openly, or do you keep their thanks hidden from others?
Confucius: A wise response. Now, tell me this: do you consider yourself to be a generous person?
Confucius: Why do you think that may be?
Confucius: Hmmm...and do you believe that your financial status has affected your ability to show kindness to others?
Confucius: That is a profound insight. Tell me, have you ever considered a life where you have more than enough resources to share your kindness?
Confucius: Wonderful. Now, tell me, what is it that you find most intimidating about the idea of achieving that kind of success?
Confucius: I see. So, in your mind, having achieved success, the biggest obstacle would be losing it. Is that correct?
Confucius: Tell me, have you ever considered the possibility that the very act of pursuing success might be what stands in the way of your achieving it?
Confucius: You see, Vargas, sometimes our greatest obstacles are the doubts we hold within ourselves. But if we can learn to let go of these doubts, and simply pursue our passions with unwavering determination, we can overcome any obstacles that stand in our way. Tell me, have you ever allowed fear to stop you from pursuing something that you truly wanted?
Confucius: Ah, I see. And what was this thing that you wanted to pursue?
Confucius: So, you have a passion for creative writing. That is wonderful. And did you pursue this passion, or did the fear stop you?
