A farmer had only one horse. One day, his horse ran away.
All the neighbors came by saying, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.” The man just said, “We'll see.”
A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses. The man and his son corraled all 21 horses.
All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!” The man just said, “We'll see.”
One of the wild horses kicked the man's only son, breaking both his legs.
All the neighbors came by saying, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.” The man just said, “We'll see.”
The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer's son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted.
All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!” The man just said, “We'll see.”
Worth remembering.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your work. Your information’s are very useful for me.
While this is an awesome lesson to learn - we never know how the future is going to turn out - I also think it is poignant that this man experienced no joy, no sorrow, no loss, no relief; no emotion whatsoever...
I don't think just lucky and prescient / humble (or maybe just apathetic), but never feeling and never engaging with others is very inspiring at all.
But maybe i am getting carried away with my emotions ;)
