Once upon a time, there was a king. The king liked one of his followers
very much because he was very wise and always gave very useful
advice. Therefore the king took him along wherever he went.
One day, the king was bitten by a dog, the finger was injured and
the wound was getting worse. He asked the follower if that was a bad
sign. The follower said, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. In the end, the
finger of the king was too bad that had to be cut. The king asked the
follower again if that was a bad sign. Again, the follower gave the
same
answer, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. The king became very angry and sent
the follower to prison.
One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when
he was on the chase of a deer. Deeper and deeper he went inside the
jungle. In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make thing
worse,
he got captured by the native people lived inside the jungle. They
wanted
to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that the king
had one finger short, they released him immediately as he was not a
perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacriface.
The king managed to get back to his palace after all. And he
finally understood the follower's wise quote, 'Good or bad, hard to
say'.
If he hadn't lost one finger, he could have been killed by the native
people.
He ordered to release the follower, and apologized to him. But to
the king amaze, the follower was not mad at him at all. Instead, the
follower said, 'It wasn't a bad thing that you locked me up.' Why?
Because if the king hadn't locked the follower up, he would have
brought the follower along to the jungle. If the native found that the
king was not suitable, they would have used the follower. Again, the
quote
'Good or bad, hard to say' stands.
The moral of the story is that everything that happens in this
world, there is no absolute good or bad. Sometimes good things turned
out
to be bad things eventually, while bad things become a gain.
Whatever good things that happen to you, enjoy it, but don't have
to hold too tight to it, treat it as a surprise in your life.
Whatever bad things that happen to you, don't have to feel too sad or
dispair
in the end, it might not be a total bad thing after all. If one can
understand this, he or she will find life much easier.
knowing these ppl = good or bad??? u decide....
