Two philosophers were
sitting at a restaurant, discussing whether or not there was a difference
between misfortune and disaster.
“There is most certainly a difference,”
said one. “If the cook suddenly died and we couldn’t have our dinner that would
be a misfortune __ but certainly not a disaster. On the other hand, if a cruise
ship carrying the Congress was to sink in the middle of the ocean, that would be
a disaster __ but by no stretch of the imagination would it be a
misfortune
