Everyone has a story. Tell me yours, I'll tell you mine.
This story....
"A poor farmer's horse ran off into the country of the barbarians. All of
his neighbors offered their condolences, but his father said, "How do you
know that this isn't good fortune?" After a few months the horse returned
with a barbarian horse of excellent stock. All his neighbors offered their
congratulations, but his father said, "How do you know that this isn't a
disaster?" The two horses bred, and the family became rich in fine horses.
The farmer's son spent much of his time riding them; one day he fell off
and broke his hipbone. All his neighbors offered the farmer their
condolences, but his father said, "How do you know that this isn't good
fortune?" Another year passed, and the barbarians invaded the frontier. All
the able-bodied young men were conscripted, and nine-tenths of them died in
the war. Thus good fortune can be disaster and vice versa. Who can tell how
events will be transformed?"
