Listen to the Apache
The Apache crouched, staring at the unblemished sand in front of them. After a while, the white man wondered if the trail was lost.Sometimes we need to step back, regain perspective, and remember the basics. In politics, for instance, people argue about tax increases vs. national debt vs. inflation. Candidates for public office will base entire campaigns on that subject, promising to “balance the budget” by raising taxes.
“What if he left no tracks?”
“There are always tracks,” replied the Apache. “A man can't exist without leaving sign.”
“What if he covers up his tracks? Then what?”
The Apache turned his head and looked up at the white man standing next to him. “That, too, would be a sign.”
They might as well promise to lose weight by standing on one foot.
