* Luís Alberto Alves
One time, the dictatorial government of an Arab country in the 18th century arrested a great Eastern thinker. To release him, the king asked him several complex questions; If he answered and was right, he would all be on the streets.
Here are some of them: 1) What is the best day? Answer: what we are living! 2) What is the biggest feeling? Answer: love! 3) What is the demonic invention? Answer: the war! 4) What is the biggest asset? Answer: honesty! 5) What is the greatest good? Answer: health! 6) What is the greatest consolation? Answer: hope! 7) What is the greatest law? Answer: Love your neighbor as yourself. 8) Which is the most dangerous man? Answer: the liar. 9) What is the highest judge? Answer: time. 10) Which poison kills the most? Answer: the rancor. 11) What is the greatest baseness committed by the human being? Answer: revenge. 12) What is the most powerful weapon? Answer: forgiveness.
After answering the questions, the king freed him and the thinker can pass free the last years of his life. He was over 70 years old.
