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 that man, but the mullah ended up in the hospital.
“What lesson did you learn from this incident, master?” one of his students asked Nasreddin.
- 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!
