Mullah Nasreddin was known as a wise man, so one day four people came to him with a problem.

The first person explained his view. Nasreddin listened and said, “That’s true.”

The second person spoke next, saying the exact opposite of the first. Nasreddin nodded and said, “That’s true.”

The third person disagreed with them both and presented a different opinion. Nasreddin said again, “That’s true.”

Then a fourth person came and argued against all three. Nasreddin listened carefully and said, “That’s true.”

Someone in the audience became angry and said, “They can’t all be right. How can you say everyone is telling the truth?”

Nasreddin replied, “Each person is speaking from their own angle. Each one has part of the truth. I can see that because I am not in love with myself. I am love. When I am not focused on myself, I can understand others. When you see with love, you can recognize the truth in everyone—even when they disagree.”
