1. Once upon a time, there was a king who had a wise advisor. The advisor followed the
king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was "Everything happens for the
good."
One day the king went hunting and had a small accident. His foot was
injured. Fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his
advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied, "Everything
happens for the good."This time the king was really angry and put his advisor in
prison. The king then asked his advisor, "Now, what do you think? " The advisor again
answered, "Everything happens for the good." About a week later the king went on another
hunting trip. It turned out that the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and
taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. Before putting
him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the king's foot
was injured. They decided to throw him back into the forests. It is the tradition for the
cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured.
It is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own
good. If you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where
we are today and make us a better person. So whatever challenges that we may face
today, consider it happening to bring us to the next level.
