"… a thousand-year-old story from India.
It is about a farmer who has only one horse to pull his plow, and the horse runs away. His neighbours say, “That is terrible!”
The farmer says, “Maybe.”
The next day, he comes back with two horses. His neighbours says, “That is wonderful!”
“Maybe,” the farmer says.
His son tries to break the horses and ends up breaking his own leg. “Oh, that is horrible!”, the neighbours say.
“Maybe,” he says.
The next day, the army shows up to take all the men to war, but they can’t take his injured son. Now the neighbours say, “Oh, you are so lucky!”
What do you think his response is? Right: “Maybe.”
And the story goes on and on, as does life. If you believe in something, and it has not worked yet, maybe you are judging too soon. When you think you are in trouble, maybe you are not. Maybe it is only temporary...."
