A man sat at a fork in the road. Every time someone came along, he waited to see which way they went. If the person went to the left, he shook his head sadly and sighed loudly. If the person went to the right, he smiled to him and wished him a pleasant day.
This went on for a long time. Finally one day a young boy stopped and inquired of the man, "Why do you sit here?"
"Why not, these people obviously need my guidance and wisdom."
"But you say the same thing each time. You shake your head and sigh whenever anyone goes left and you smile and are pleasant whenever anyone goes right. There is no guidance and, as for wisdom, I see none. Both paths join together again 100 yards down the way."
"yet in all the time I have greeted people, you are the only one who has been wise enough to observe this. half the people change paths and half the stumble and act confused as they go along, no matter how many times they have gone down the paths. Obviously they need some help. I simply provide one of life's necessary services."
