A Video Poker player once said to the Master, "I was caught cheating at a
machine
yesterday, so casino security beat me up and threw me out of the window.
What
would you advise me to do?"
The Master looked straight through the man and said, "If I were you, from
now on I would play on the ground floor."
This startled the disciples. "Why didn't you tell him to stop gambling?"
they demanded.
"Because I knew he wouldn't," was the Master's simple and sagacious
explanation.
Anthony de Mello, SJ

office. --Aesop, Greek fableist
