"Confucius met a woman weeping by a tomb. She explained that her father-in-law had been killed by a tiger, her husband had been killed by a tiger, and now she was burying her son, who had been killed by a tiger. Confucius asked why she didn't move somewhere else. She replied: "The government is not cruel here."
