On perspective. It may be good, it may be bad...
A peasant farmer lives on the outskirts of a village with his family.
He comes into the village one day and is visibly disturbed. He speaks to the wise man of the village: “My horse has run away with the wild horses. I have lost my horse. This is terrible.”
The wise man says “It may be good, it may be bad.”
The next day the peasant farmer returns to the center of the village. This time he looks happy. He speaks again “My horse has returned and has brought two extra wild horses back with him. This is wonderful.”
The wise man says “It may be good, it may be bad.”
The next day the peasant farmer returns. He is clearly shaken. “My son was riding one of the wild horses. He has fallen and has broken his leg. This is awful.”
The wise man says “It may be good, it may be bad.”
The next day the peasant farmer is back. He is calm. “The army came looking for recruits for the war. They came to my house. They wanted my son. They saw that his leg was broken and they were not able to take him away to war. I am so lucky.”
The wise man says “It may be good, it may be bad.”
