In one meeting they argued about what is the worst thing in the world for a person. Some said illness, some said death, some said poverty... A lot of things were said. They asked Nasreddin:
- What do you think, Molla?
“It’s bad when what you want doesn’t come true,” Nasreddin answered. “But it’s much worse when something you don’t want comes true,” he added after thinking.
