One day, a man fell from the roof of a house right on Nasreddin’s head as he was walking along a narrow alley. Nothing happened to this man, but Mulla ended up in the hospital.
One of Nasrudin's students asked him:
-What lesson did you learn from this incident, teacher?
- Give up the belief in inevitability, even if cause and effect seem inevitable! Avoid theoretical questions like this: “Will a person break his neck if he falls from a roof?” He fell and I broke my neck!
