Genesis is Pointless

Excerpt from The Holy Dialogues of Pazuk, Volume 134, Page 12.

When the sun never set and before man grew old and died, a student once asked the Wise Pazuk about the nature of the universe. Holy Pazuk, in their wisdom, walked with the student through the monastery- taking them to the unassuming and humble kitchen. Many students sat, making the simple bread which sustained them. To this, the student began protesting Pazuk's apparent refusal to answer their question. Why had Pazuk brought them for chores instead of providing cosmic truths?

Blessed Pazuk, rifled through the firewood. The student was silenced as Pazuk withdrew two pieces of lumber, and asked the student to examine them. The student began to study the wood, realizing that this may hold some hidden wisdom for their question. The student performed every analysis they could think of. After the span of a few hours, the student became dejected. They had failed their lesson. Finally, they asked Pazuk what was the meaning of this wood. Slowly and with the greatest mindfulness, Pazuk lifted one of the pieces in their hands- before promptly beating the student to death. As their body lay on the floor, the other students in the kitchen looked on.

With saintly reverence, Divine Pazuk turned to his remaining students and uttered his third holy law: "Do not disrespect your masters by asking stupid questions."
