Where would you hide?
Another [disciple] said unto him, "If the vessel wherein thou hidest were to be broken, what wouldst thou do?"
Socrates replied, "Even if the vessel were to be broken, the place in which it is would not be broken."
This is not my task
A shop, on which the Mulla was the only passenger, was caught in a typhoon. The captain and crew, having done all they could to save the ship, fell on their knees and started to pray for deliverance. The Mulla stood calmly by. The captain opened his eyes, saw the Mulla standing there, jumped up and cried:' Get down on your knees!" You, a devout man, you should be praying with us.' Nasrudin did not move. 'I am only a passenger. Everything pertaining to the safety of this ship is your concerns, none mine.'
