Are you Dumb or Dumber?

I've been thinking of Dumb and Dumber and how it teaches us about the Tao.

Three quarters of the way through, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels become lost in the middle of Nebraska, having gone the opposite way of Aspen, where they hope to change their lives.

In times of trouble, who are you? Jim Carrey, who wants to move forward on the path to his ultimate destination? Or Jeff Daniels, who wants to spend as much energy to give up and go back home?

The point is, be Jim Carrey! Keep moving forward! He's the star!

Although, Jim Carrey was the one who got the pair off their way. And they ended up stranded in the desert, worse off than if they'd stayed in Providence.

And! They didn't get on the bus with the bikini models. So...the point is...the Tao wants you to get on that bus with the bikini models and rub tanning lotion on them!
