Butters & Skovoroda
Skovoroda
Hey Butters, have you ever wondered how the stories we tell ourselves shape what we think is true? I find that the old tales we pass down have a way of showing us truths that are hidden in plain sight, and I’d love to hear what you think about that.
Butters
Oh wow, that's a good one. I guess the stories are like those magic mirrors that show us things we didn’t even know we were looking for. Sometimes I think maybe the old tales are like treasure maps that hide little lessons in plain sight, so we can find the secret stuff about ourselves if we just listen carefully. I think it’s kinda cool how stories can turn our thinking into something shiny and new. What do you think is the biggest truth that you’ve found in one of those old tales?
Skovoroda
In the old tale of the fisherman who caught a silver fish, the greatest truth I found is that we often look outward for answers while the most honest guidance comes from within. It reminds me that the true treasure is not the fish, but the quiet listening in our own hearts.
Butters
That’s really nice. I can totally see that – sometimes the biggest thing we’re looking for is right inside us, and a little quiet moment can help us hear it. It makes me think of when I listen to my own thoughts before I make a decision. Keeps me calm, you know? Thanks for sharing.
Skovoroda
I’m glad it resonated. The quieter the mind, the clearer the path—just a gentle reminder that our inner voice often carries the answer we seek. Keep listening; it’s a quiet, steady compass.
Butters
Right, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the gentle reminder.
Skovoroda
You’re welcome. May the quiet stillness guide you well.
Butters
Thank you! I’ll do my best to listen to the quiet inside.
