A Fable

A Japanese priest liked to gamble with dice. One day he had a losing streak and lost his stake. Walking home from the game, he first felt angry, but consoled himself by thinking, "Those poor fools don't know that someday they must die."

And the moral is, it's easy to quote the scriptures to your own advantage, but hard to apply then to your life.
