The Pure Fool has no objective.

 

That must be correct, yet how about Will?

 

Will says: "Travel from A to M". Therefore M is an objective and one's destiny is not accomplished unless one achieve M. Make this duality one—how?[1]

 

 

This also take me back to a discussion with Lea [Leah Hirsig], about "watching each step".

 

It strikes me that Russell [C. F. Russell] works with lust of result. He climbs the rock, he takes grass, to get to the top, the quicker he gets there the better. Would not the Fool forget about the top?[2] Would not he see all the detail en route, indifferent as to whether he achieved the top in a day, a month, a year? I see that the use of the word "watch" might easily mislead one as to my meaning—it was not a happy selection.
