One wise man, speaking to his audience, told them an anecdote. The entire audience shook with laughter.
A few minutes later he told people the same joke again. Only a few people smiled.
The sage told the same joke for the third time, but no one laughed.
The old wise man smiled and said: “You can’t laugh at the same joke all the time... So why do you allow yourself to cry over the same thing all the time?”
