277. The wise man does not create conflicts

 Mulla Nusruddin for the first time became a Magistrate and sat on chair to hear the case. First man spoke and finished. Mulla told "yes, yes, you are right" The court clerk standing nearby told "what are you doing, you must listen to other side before giving judgement. So the second person spoke and finished. Mulla told "yes, yes, you are right" The court clerk now thought, this magistrate is not only inexperienced but also crazy. He told "what are you doing, both cannot be right"

Mulla told "yes, yes. you are right"

This is how a wise man behaves. With "no", the fight starts. With "no", you become the ego. With "no", you can be killed. Socrates was poisoned and many more were killed in history. With "no", great street fights and murders have happened.

With "yes" - USA, NATO and Russia can be together. With "no", they can keep fighting for 10-15 years. China neither says "yes" nor "no" It only observes. It remains in middle - the Buddhist approach
