Once Upon a Time

there was a Chinese farmer

who lost a horse

run away

and all the neighbors came around that

evening

and said that's too bad

and he said maybe

[Music]

the next day the horse came back

and brought seven wild horses with it

and all the neighbors came around and

said Why That's great isn't it

and he said maybe

the next day his son

was attempting to tame one of these

horses and was riding it and the throne

broke his leg

and all the neighbors came around in the

evening and said well that's too bad

isn't it

and the farmer said maybe

the next day the conscription officers

came around looking for people for the

Army and they rejected his son because

he had a broken leg and all the

neighbors came around the evening and

said isn't that wonderful and he said

maybe

laughs

[Music]

the whole process of nature

is an integrated process of immense

complexity

and it is really impossible to tell

whether anything that happens in it is

good or bad

because you never know what will be the

consequences of a misfortune

or you never know what will be the

consequences of Good Fortune

[Music]
