Sage Advice
Once upon a time a Sage placidly extolled the virtues of contemplating
life with equanimity. He recommended this attitude to all, including the
victims of flood, fire, earthquake, plague, robbery, rape, tyranny, atrocity
and war.
He said, “If only the common folk had sufficient wisdom and
character for philosophic detachment, then they too could avoid suffering!” The
Sage sighed and shook his head.
Then
he stubbed his toe on a rock, and he swore like a sailor.
Moral:
We all have the strength to endure the misfortunes of
others.
