“Molla,” they asked Nasreddin, “why do friends so easily become enemies?” But turning enemies into friends is much more difficult.
“This is the nature of things,” Nasreddin answered. - Think for yourself, what is easier: to build a house or to destroy it? Make a jug or break it? Make money or waste it?
- Is it difficult to restore a broken friendship?
Molla took the clay jug and threw it on the floor. The jug shattered into large and small shards.
“Now glue it together,” Molla said simply.
