Now Mitch Albom (Mr. Tuesdays with Morrie) is not my cuppa tea… but there is one story that I adore in his latest book “Have a Little Faith” on page 163:

The neighbors come by and say, “Too bad. Such awful luck.”
The farmer says, “Maybe.”
The next day, the horse returns with a few other horses. The neighbors congratulate the farmer on his reversal of fortune.

“Maybe,” the farmer says.
And the next day, when army officials come to draft the son—and don’t take him because of his broken leg – everyone is happy.
“Maybe,” the farmer says.
