After a long search for more consciousness a man finally came to a market place.
The air was filled with many different smells and voices.
He got aware of a little old woman walking around shouting: Seeds of conscience, I have seeds of conscience!
Curiously he came closer to the woman and said: What is that, seeds of conscience?
Are you interested, she answered, by eating those seeds I have to offer, you`ll get wise!
And the man looked upun the seeds in her hand looking like apple seeds. How much is it, he wanted to know.
10 bucks each, the woman said. Well, the man said, then give me 10 of those seeds. And giving her 100 bucks he started eating the seeds. And you mean I become more conscious, he asked? Sure, she said.
After a while he begun to wonder. These were apple seeds, he thought. If I weren`t an asshole, I would have bought one apple for 10 pennies giving me more than 10 seeds at once!
And he turned around looking for the woman.
When he finally found her again he started yelling at her because he found himself terribly fooled.
See, the woman said, you have become very wise!
And with a smile she went away and left him alone...
