Daniel Goleman Quote

A belligerent samurai, an old Japanese tale goes, once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. But the monk replied with scorn, You’re nothing but a lout— I can’t waste my time with the likes of you! His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and, pulling his sword from its scabbard, yelled, I could kill you for your impertinence.That, the monk calmly replied, is hell.
