If you do something bad to really help someone, is the action really that bad? I\u2019d say \u201csometimes yes, sometimes no\u201d \u2013 in this case I\u2019ll let you judge for yourself.<\/p>\n
An old man asked his wife, \u201cMartha, we\u2019ve soon been married for 50 years, and there\u2019s something I have to know. In all of these 50 years, have you ever been unfaithful to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Martha replied, \u201cWell Henry, I have to be honest with you\u2026 Yes, I\u2019ve been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Henry was obviously hurt by his wife\u2019s confession, but said, \u201cI never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by \u2018good reasons\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
Martha said, \u201cThe first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn\u2019t pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening when I went to see the banker, and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?\u201d<\/p>\n
Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, \u201cI can forgive you for that\u2026 You saved our home after all. But what about the second time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Martha asked, \u201cDo you remember when you were so sick, but we didn\u2019t have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he performed the surgery at no charge.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI recall that,\u201d said Henry<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d Martha said<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
