The picture of course shows the reaction of a certain cartoon everyman on hearing of the daring Munchies I Scream theft.  |

Some times when one feels dissatisfied or disappointed it is important to find good attitude to the problem.
Lately I was listening to audio of lectures on Buddhism. Buddhists deal with the aspect of pain. Emotional pain can be as painful as physical. Here is a fable:
A horse run away from a poor peasant. His neighbors ask: what are you going to do? We shall see, he said.
The horse comes back with wild horses. Neighbors tell him: you are so lucky. We shall see, he said.
The son of the peasant falls from a horse? What are you going to do? We shall see.
They conscript boys to the army, but peasant's son can not be in the army. You are so lucky. We shall see.
This can go on for ever.
I am listening now to lectures on world history. I find it fascinating. I never had time to think how people started agriculture and had more food. They needed more people to work the fields and how first cities appeared and how civilization started (different organizations of societies in India or China etc).
Is civilization a good thing or a bad thing?
I end my post by saying that it is important to find different interests and not to go down if things go wrong.
I hope I was able to explain what I want to say enough for people to understand.
Does it make sense?

It makes a great deal of sense. Thank you for posting that fable, Buddhism has much to commend it.
