Philokalia

It once happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The comedian came out to tell the public, and so the people in the audience thought it was a joke, and they applauded. and he repeated his message again and again, but each time the people just cheered all the louder. ...............And I think this is how the world is going to end, amidst the general cheers of a fun loving people, who believe thats its all just a joke
