What is the difference between you and me?

Master Kosen – Published on December 9 – self-and-others

Question

If someone who knew only Zen's "folklore" asked you—as has surely happened many times—
"What is the difference between you and me?" what would you answer?
Without answering, of course, "No difference" or "A whole world."
