Their lived a farmer in Chinese.
He had a horse. One day the horse ran away the people around came to him and said - that’s sad that your only horse ran away.

The farmer replied maybe

Next day his horse returned with seven more horse .
The people around him came to him and said - you’re so lucky now you have eight horses
The farmer replied maybe

The next day
his son was trying to train a horse and unfortunately broke his leg
The people around him again came to him and said - that so sad ?
The farmer replied maybe

Next day
Army was escorting young and healthy people to join the army.
All the young people were taken by the army but the farmers son was left
Again the people around him came and said - you’re son is lucky ,he don’t have to join army
The farmer replied maybe
Here the farmer teaches us that l we can never judge whether the side of situation is good or bad for us .

Life is full of uncertainty and we should enjoy the beauty of uncertainty and continue to live embracing uncertainties.
