You come to me for advice, but you cant cope with anything you dont recognize. Hmmm. So well have to tell you something you already know, but make it sound like news, eh? The old man sighed again…. You cannot see what I see because you see what you see. You cannot know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace you yourself…. …...Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you. It says in the brochure, said Arthur, that I can have a special prayer, individually tailored to me and my special needs. Oh all right said the old man. It goes like this. Lets see now: “Protect me from knowing what I dont need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I dont know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen. Thats it. Its what you pray silently inside yourself anyway, so you may as well have it out in the open. Hmm. said Arthur. Well, thank you.. Theres another prayer that goes with it thats very important. continued the old man. so youd better jot this down too. Lord, lord, lord. (Best to put that bit in, just in case. You can never be too sure.) Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer. Amen. And thatss it. Most of the trouble people get into in life comes from missing out that last part. ― Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
