The Chinese Farmer Story is a Zen parable about perspective, acceptance, and the flow of life.
When the farmer’s horse runs away, everyone calls it “bad luck.” When it returns with seven more horses, it becomes “good luck.” When his son breaks his leg, it’s “bad” again. But when the army comes and rejects his son — it’s “good” once more.
Through each event, the farmer simply says one word: “Maybe.”
💠The story, retold by philosopher Alan Watts, reminds us that we can’t always see the full picture of life.
Good or bad — everything is part of something larger.
🎧 Watch this short story and remember: sometimes peace begins with the word maybe.
