Answer:

true.

Explanation:

A koan is a statement, in the form of a question, an anecdote, a story, or even a dialogue, aimed at awakening an epistemological and existential doubt in the student of zen that can lead to a higher form of comprehension of reality, and ultimately, enlightenment. A koan is often of a paradoxical nature, most commonly presenting rationally unsolvable matters regarding essential opposites that can lead to an identification of object and subject and pure consciousness.

Well, look at it this way: If you failed your test, and (for example) your siblings kept teasing or talking about it with you, you wouldn't feel very comfortable would you now? This what Justin probably felt like when felt that he wanted to avoid reminders of how he had failed. 

Note: this isn't the "essay", this a place to start from, so you can write the answer in your own words.

Hope this helps!
