Where are you going to go?

Chow: Ahh... it comes again. It always does... no matter how hard I try to avoid it.

Old man: Why avoid it? Do you think you can avoid it?

Chow: No... I should face it!!

Old man: Why force yourself either? Do you think you can face it if the time isn't right?

Chow: No...

Old man: So what should you do?

Chow: Nothing?

Old man: Nothing!

Chow: But I feel miserable...

Old man: You only feel miserable when you are bent on doing or not doing something. Let go of that notion... Relax. Just relax. When you are looking at the sunset, don't run towards it. When the rain is catching up with you, don't run away from it. Where are you going to go? The sun will set, and you can't outrun the rain.

Chow: A feeling of helplessness...

Old man: Does it feel good?

Chow: Yeah, but its an acquired taste.

Old man: It takes time... just relax.
