Remembered an ols chinese story..
A monk and a disciple was travelling.suddenly they saw a mountain peak.The disciple said"Wow ".The monk send him back to his home.Some body asked him why? monk replied "He is not ready for real education.He talks too much."the other asked "too much?it was only "wow".Monk smiled and ask.We both knew it but why say and break the beauty..
Words always destroy the beauty'
