Sage Advice, an Underfable



       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.
