Loved the koan, and really loved the explanation!
Although I have to point out that although the traffic situation sounds absolutely dire, and those jeepneys sound like hell, you write so brilliantly about it that I'm left feeling rather thrilled and excited by it all haha!
It's a contest, so any similar stories will earn you the write to win! :D Spread it around if you want more competition haha!
Thank you for the compliment! Have I found my strength whenever I write from an angry place? Here I am subjecting myself to melancholy, when all I have to do is to just get angry haha! Definitely something to ponder!
