The Story:
A farmer and his son owned a cherished stallion that was crucial to their livelihood. One day, the horse disappeared. The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, how unlucky!” The farmer responded, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few days later, the stallion returned with several wild mares. The neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse has come back with more horses! How fortunate!” The farmer responded, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
Shortly after, while taming one of the mares, the farmer's son broke his leg. The villagers lamented, “Your son broke his leg, how unlucky!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few weeks later, soldiers came to conscript all able-bodied young men for the army but left the farmer’s son behind due to his injury. The villagers exclaimed, “Your son was spared! How fortunate!” The farmer again replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
Moral of the Story:
No event can be judged as entirely good or bad, lucky or unlucky in isolation. Life's full story is revealed only with time. Adopting a balanced approach and taking everything in stride can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
