This is a short story of two friends, Q and A.
Q always used to have the As, since she always asked Qs.
A had only Qs, since he was fixated only on As!
Q wanted to help A find As.
And Q had them already.
But there was a catch!
Q realized that telling A the As could lead to A never seeing them as As.
Q had to hence ask Qs to A - the type of Qs that led A to the As.
Slowly and unknowingly, A became ready to confront the Qs.
Q was always available to reflect along with A on the Qs.
This allowed A, over time, to discover the As himself.
Yes, A was able to get the As only and precisely because Q did not tell them to him.
And here is something which both Q and A realized:
"Only what is not said is really understood from the depths of the heart".
Indeed, they did not have to tell this to each other.
