A sage was sitting peacefully by a river when a mischievous person, a passer-by saw the bare back of his neck and yielded to the temptation to give it a resounding whack.
The stranger was full of wonder at the sound his hand made on the fleshy nape of the sage's neck, then the sage, smarting with pain, stood up to hit the stranger back back. “Wait a minute,” said the aggressor. “You can hit me if you wish. But first answer this question: Was the sound of the whack produced by my hand or by the back of your neck?”
Said the sage, “Answer that yourself. My pain won’t allow me to theorize. You can afford to do so, because you don’t feel what I feel"!.

The village preacher, at the home of an elderly parishioner was busy answering grandma’s questions over a cup of coffee.
“Why does the Lord send us epidemics every so often?” asked the old lady.
“Well,” said the preacher, “sometimes people become so wicked they have to be removed and so the good Lord allows the coming of epidemics".
“But then,” objected grandma, “why do so many good people get removed with the bad?”
“The good ones are summoned as witnesses,” explained the preacher. “The Lord wants to give every soul a fair trial.”
