It ran away. That evening, all the neighbors came by and said: <em>\"That's bad, isn't it?\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this the farmer replied: <em>\"Maybe.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day the horse came back and brought seven wild horses. All the neighbors came by again and said, \"This is great, isn't it?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the farmer replied: <em>\u201e<em>Maybe<\/em>.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, when the son tried to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off the horse and broke his leg. Again, all the neighbors came by and said: <em>\"That's tragic, isn't it?\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again the farmer answered: <em>\"Maybe.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day the conscription officers came, looking for people to join the army. But they rejected the farmer's son because of his broken leg. And all the people from the neighborhood came by in the evening and said: <em>\"Isn't that wonderful?\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And again the farmer said: <em>\"Maybe.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/asia-farmer-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/asia-farmer-2.png 800w, https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/asia-farmer-2-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/asia-farmer-2-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/how-to-live.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/asia-farmer-2-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. the importance of the history of the farmer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire course of nature, is a holistic process of immense complexity. It is really impossible to predict whether something that happens is good or bad. Because you can never know what the consequences of a misfortune can be. Likewise, you can never know what the consequences of a stroke of luck can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. my personal opinion about history of the farmer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have already spent some time acquiring a non-dualistic way of thinking. That is, I try not to pigeonhole events as good or bad, but to view them as objectively as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this is also something that you have to practice constantly. After all, it is quite difficult to find something positive about a rejection for a job. Furthermore, it is also difficult, for example, to find something positive about a cut on your own finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when mishaps happen to me, I try to learn as much as I can from them. This can consist of understanding my emotions better and better as well as improving my practical skills such as cutting vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the next time something bad or good happens to you, try not to classify it as good or bad, but just see it for what it is. Because only if we see things as they are, we can handle them as it is necessary. And <em>that would be wonderful, wouldn't it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Did you like this article?
