[Buddha-l] HHDL vigil

[Dan Lusthaus]

We're all waiting for something, I guess.

An insightful psychologist once said that, psychologically, the difference 
between mice and humans is, if you put a piece of cheese in a maze, and let 
a mouse find it, and then move the cheese, the mouse may go up and down the 
same corridors a few times looking for that cheese in its expected place, 
but it soon starts looking in other corridors for cheese. If you do the same 
experiment with humans, once you move the cheese, they will sit at the place 
they last saw cheese and wait for it to return -- in effect, they will 
starve to death.
