Bet you’ll feel better after a laugh, here comes the joke of the day, “Directions.”
After climbing a freezing, jagged mountain, a weary seeker finally found a legendary Zen master sitting in absolute silence.
(Pleased and dramatic) “Master, I am lost! Please… show me the right direction in life!”
The master slowly opened one eye. From his robes, he pulled out a rolled-up map, handed it to the seeker, and spoke with calm authority.
“The direction is simple… but the walking is hard.”
Trembling with anticipation, the seeker unrolled the paper. He blinked. It was completely blank.
“But master… there’s nothing here!”
“Exactly. And yet… you’re still holding it upside down.”
