Things happen in this life that are difficult to understand. I wonder if the difficulty is because we are so fixed in our ways or because we have never learned another way.
I love this story from the book, The Bounce Back Book by Karen Salmansohn.
A wise woman and her young disciple were walking down the street. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an angry man in a carriage drove haphazardly by the two, insensitively pushing the woman out of his way. She landed in a ditch filled with muddy water. The woman yelled after the man in the carriage, "May you have everything you want!" The disciple, surprised by the wise woman's response, said: "I'm confused. Why did you say that to a man with such horrible behavior?" The woman replied, "Because a happy man wouldn't have thoughtlessly pushed a woman into a ditch."
I wish you peace and joy.
