Question

Hey, Kosen!

Why do you shoot your mouth off so much if all we have to do is shut the fuck up?

Why do you prefer “the dragon’s song” to my theatrics?

Why, when you strike a stone, don’t you expect the concrete to come back at you?


Thanks and best wishes.

Aldo

Answer from Master Kosen

Because the dragon’s song is inimitable. Drop it.
