A man wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to listen the Sermon every Friday.
“I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me I can’t remember a single one of them. So I think I’m wasting my time and the Imams they are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.”
This started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column, much to the dismay of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, i cannot recall what the menu was for a single one of those meals.
But i do know this: they all nourished me and gave me the strength i needed to do my work. if my wife had not given those meals, i would be dead today."
