This is a fictional short story, with a dash of truth, maybe.
When traveling through time and space on the internet I was forced over to one side or another (I don't know which) and came to a place
that said to me, "speak your piece about Tao.
Now I rummaged through my papers and found that the Tao was a word used for God among other things.
As I peeked into this peculiar dimension, I noticed strangers talking to strangers about strange things in a strange way.
It caught my attention.
I entered and it seemed peaceful enough.
I tried speaking but not much came out of me the way I would have liked it to.
Then some of the strangers came and gathered around me, while they still talked to each other.
I knew not what they were saying.
Then a person with some sort of title came up to me and said "welcome!"
Yes, I then felt quite comfortable.
I stayed for a while and learned to speak their language, it seems it was a language I knew all along.
These people exchanged ideas in a way I had never heard before.
Sometimes, tempers flared and a person with a title would come break it up.
It seemed like fun and I wanted to join in if I could.
Then a lady with a title took a special interest in me and watched my every move.
I became on edge and challenged all that she said.
It became a battle of the words.
My words were always far superior but she had clout and used it against me.
Though she banned me and sent back out into the outer limits of reality, I kept coming back with my own clout.
Finally one day, there was a cease fire and a new brand of titled people came along.
Made no difference, they had made me into what I was and that remained.
Do you want to know what happened next?
Stay tuned.....
