Imagine that you are trapped inside a large building,where people are arguing
about various opinions about *if* there is a door and *how* to get out.Some be-
lieve that *this* wall has a door in it,others *that* wall.Groups are formed to encourage belief in which phantom door is best.One group asserts that the way
out is up through ladders that extend into the sky.And here is a group trying to
tunnel out using dark,secret,ancients maps.Another group is sure that any wall will
have a door if you "just believe" that there is one (this group is famous for big
lumps on their heads).And yet another group insists that "the door" and "outside"
are merely a state of mind.Some have seen through all this nonsense and given up the search entirely.
Enter one who says:"I have some good news!There is a way out,but only one.It's
a narrow,low door.I will prove it.Give up your deep,sophisticated,or silly notions
and follow me!"But the various groups are so enamored with their own ideas that few pay attention.The "phantom door" group thinks it's unsporting to assert that
there is only one door.The "sky exit" types complain that "this good news" lacks
sophistication or intellectual appeal.The "deep ones" go to inspect the door,collect facts about it,even "hang out" around it,but never go through it.They become ex-
perts at door trivia.The "just believe" types are always happy to hear of a new door and are emboldened by this news to try ever harder to walk through doors that don't exist.More lumps on the head.In the end,for various reasons,very few
make it out through the revealed door.
