"My dear Akira, I see worry lines on your forehead. What is it that brings you here today?", asked the wise old sage.
"I... I don't know", said the hesitant Akira.
"Is that so? And what is it that you don't know", prompted the sage gently.
"It's just... nothing makes me feel happy. I don't look forward to anything. I don't even feel like I'm entirely here in front of you", confessed Akira.
"I see. Tell me Akira, is there anything you did to overcome this feeling?", interrogated the sage further.
"Of course I did. I did it all to realize my dreams. I've been there all to find my happiness. I wandered in the deserts and I voyaged in the seas. I flew over the moons and I dug under the soil. I saw my tomorrow and I relived my yesterday. No luck. Tell me, o knower of all, am I dying?"
To this, the sage finally revealed:
"My dear Akira, you have been there all. You wandered in the deserts and you voyaged in the seas. You flew over the moons and dug under the soil. You have seen your Tomorrow and relived your Yesterday. But the only place you haven't been to, is Today."
