There is a famous Tao story describing this phenomenon very well. A man lost his horse. His neighbor came over and said that they were sorry for his loss. The man simply replied, “Who knows?” A few days later, the lost horse came back with a herd of horses so the man ended up getting more horses. His neighbor came back again and congratulated for his gain. And the man simply replied, “who knows?”
The man was riding and fell off the horse. His neighbor came over and offered their sympathy. Once again, the man simply replied, “Who knows?” A war happened in the country where the man lived. The king recruited men for the soldier. Because of his wounded leg, this man was left behind.
Yes, life is exactly like that! A lot of times we judge what’s going on in our life as bad or good. However, the truth is that we never know what’s going to happen to us the next moment. Life is a continuous movement. We are the energy and not the forms! Just let it unfold!
