How You Say It Makes A Great Deal Of Difference (2)
A monk was walking in the Monastery garden during the hour of
meditation. He met fellow monk who was smoking as he walked along the garden
path.
"Did you get permission from the Superior to smoke
during meditation?" asked the first monk.
"Yes, I was permitted" the second monk replied.
"But I asked if I could smoke during meditation and I
was turned down" the first monk whined.
"You didn't phrase it properly. You asked if you could
smoke during meditation. I asked if I might meditate while I smoked," the
second monk explained.
How you say it makes a great deal of difference.
