Cubicle Conundrum - Day 13

N: All my good deeds have paid off. I have now attained enlightenment.

Q: Right, and I'm the King of the World.

N: Your petty sarcasm has no effect on me.

Q: Okay, oh enlightened one.. What's the purpose of life?

N: It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drive us. It is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us.

Q: That’s not really an answer.

N: What is “real”? How do you define "real"? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

Q: Wait. You’re not enlightened. You’re just rephrasing lines from ‘The Matrix’! That’s why your eyes are heavy. You were up all night watching the entire Matrix Trilogy weren’t you?

N: Of course not.

Q: Oh, so the fact that all your lines were spoken in the movie are a coincidence?

N: Where some people see coincidence, I see consequence.

Q: Gah! Stop it. You’re about as enlightened as a spoon!

N: There is no spoon.
