Shaking Off The Past

A wise man was participating in a conversation. He contributed by telling the group a joke. All those present were highly amused and appreciated the humour. After a while, he narrated the joke again. This time the response was more tempered. After some time, he said it the third time and it evoked barely any response.When he tried repeating it a fourth time, a member of the group burst out: Why are you repeating the joke so many times ? It's no longer amusing, it's irritating!''. The wise man responded: "if repeating a joke ceases to amuse after a few times, then how do we carry on with repeated remembrance of painful stories?".
