Sima Hui was a famous Chinese hermit (alike behlol deeewana in our folklore) . His most famous characteristic is to always say; "Good"! ( 'achha ho gaya' ya 'kher hui')
Once, a one year old baby of a family died. He said: "Very Good"! His wife chided him for that, saying, "Everyone sees you as a wise person, so they're willing to tell you their problems. Why do you say very good when someone tells you that his son had died?" Sima replied, "It's also good to hear what you've just said." Than he went on explaining: "Think of the sorrow if son would have grown as a man and died afterwards".
