There's an old koan about a monk who went to his master and said, "I'm a
very angry person, and I want you to help me." The master said, "Show me
your anger." The monk said, "Well, right now I'm not angry. I can't show
it to you." And the master said, "then obviously it's not you, since
sometimes it's not even there." Who we are has many faces, but these
faces are not who we are.
