OSHO - OPTIMISM from The ABC of Enlightenment
Mullah Nasruddin constantly irritated his friends with his eternal optimism. No matter how bad the situation, he would always say, "It could have been worse." To cure him of this annoying habit his friends decided to invent a situation so completely dark, so dreadful that even Nasruddin could find no hope in it.
Approaohing him at the club bar one day, one of them said,"Mullah. did you hear what happened to George? He went home last night, found his wife in bed with another man, shot them both, then turned the gun on himself."
"Terrible," said the Mullah, "but it could have been worse."
"How the hell," asked this dumbounded friend, "could it possibly have been worse?"
"Well, said Nasruddin, "if it had happened the day before, I would be dead now".
