Do not expect...

A monk joined a monastery, and he wanted to know the most important Christian wisdom; so he asked the monk in charge.
The monk in charge ordered him to go to the cemetery, and say every bad word about the dead people. He did and came back. The monk in charge said: did anyone answer you back? And he replied: no one said a word. The monk in charge asked him to go again, and say very good things about the dead people. He did so, and came back. The monk in charge said: did anyone answer you back? The surprised monk said no!!!
The monk in charge said: in Christianity, be like the "dead", whatever you do, do not expect what people will say about you, it might be good today, might be bad tomorrow, people cannot judge, but will be judged but the only mighty God. And He is the one who is going to judge your work at the end of days...
