Never have bad luck

Once upon a time in the days of Lota in China there lived an old man in a village. He was very poor but kings were jealous of him. Because we had a beautify white horse. Such a horse had never been seen before.

King asked him for the house and offered fabulous price for it. But the old man would say this horse it not a horse to me, he is like a family member to me. Even his neighbor tried to convince him to sell his horse, but he did not. One morning he suddenly found that he horse was not in the stable. The whole village gathered and they all said you foolish men. We knee it beforehand that someday the horse would be stolen. And you so poor. It would have been better to sell it. You would have fetched any price you asked. Now the horse if gone.

It is a curse misfortune. The old man said, do not go too far simply said that the horse is not in the stable whether it is bad luck or good luck who knows, the people laughed. They thought the old man has gone mad. He would have sold this horse and lived in riches. But he was living hard to mouth in misery and poverty. Any ways few day passed. After fifteen days, suddenly one night, the horse returned. He had not been stolen, he had escape to the wilderness. And not only do he come back but he bought a dozen wild horse with him.

Again, the villager gather and they said to the farmer, wow this is such a good luck. The old man said again you are going too far. Just say that the horse is back and twelve horses have come with the horse but do not judge, whether it tis bad luck or good luck who knows. This time the people kept silent but they knew that twelve beautiful horses had come with the horse. A little training and they could all be sold and they would fetch much money.

The old man had a young son only. The young son starts to train the wild horses. One day while training the horse, he fell from a wild horse and his legs were broken. The people gathered again and again their judgment come so soon.

They said, your only son has lost his legs and in you old age he was your only support. This is such a bad week. The old man said, do not go too far, say only that my son has broken his legs. Whether it is bad week or good luck how knows. It happened.

After a few weeks, the country went to war with a neighboring country all the young man at the town were taken for the military. But only the old man’s son war left because he had a unbroken leg. The people again gather, they were crying and weeping because from every horse, young people were forcibly taken away. And there was no possible of their coming back because the county that had attacked was a big country and their county was losing a fight. They were not going to come back. The whole town was crying and weeping. They came to the old man they said. You were this proved t be a blessing. May be your son is crippled but still, he is with you whiteouts our sons are gone forever. The old man again said you people just go on judging. Your children have been forced to enter into the army and my son has not been forced. Nobody knows, whether it is good luck or bad luck, who knows.

If we see in our lives, we will find that we often try to control the event of our lives by deciding what outcome would be good and what would be bad. When things go according to our plans, we are over joyed. But when things do not turn out as we had hoped we are deflates, we are often too quick to judge any incident and desire whether it was good or bad. But in reality, we cannot decide whether something that was always knew whether an event with ultimately prove to be good or bad.

Something that seems like good news in the present moment, might turn out to bring inconvenience or even heartbreak be a bad in the present moment, might become very useful in the future.

The old framer is not being judgment, he is just accepting what is happening as it is. And equanimity is consider to be the highest form of happiness. We can experience, so if you want to be always happy in your life then never be too quick judge anything. Because what seems like a cure to you today may be tomorrow, it will prove out to be good luck for you.
