A small tale of a remarkable wisdom ...
There was once a humble farmer of old Russia. He was a widower and had one son.
One day his horse disappeared. All his neighbors complained, saying that a very sad thing happened. "Maybe yes, maybe no," he replied.
Three days later his horse returned with three wild horses. The neighbors envied and assured him: "How lucky you are!". To which he replied: "Maybe yes, maybe no."
His son tried to mount one of the wild horses, fell and broke his leg. The neighbors said, "What rotten luck!" - "Maybe yes, maybe no," replied again the peasant.
Three days later the Czar of bailiffs came for all young able-bodied men to enlist in the army and the peasant's son was not enrolled. "How lucky you are!" declared the old peasant neighbors.
We see a tiny piece of our reality. Who knows what may be useful experiences that we live in! According
Wisdom of Lao Tzu
