Do you believe that "Everything happens for our own good !" ?
Before discussing this, let me tell you a good story.
Once upon a time there was a king. He was very short tempered. He had a loyal minister, very optimistic, who used to stay with him always.
One day he was entering his court. The gates of the court were huge, had spokes. As he walked by the gates, he brushed his index finger with one of the spoke and got himself hurt. Was furious about it.
To cool him down his minister said, "Lord, Don't worry. There must be something good in this. As, Everything happens for our own good" .
Listening to this, "The King", who has the right to be angry at anytime and on anyone, angrily called his guards and asked them to put him in the dungeon.
King : "Minister, what do you have to say now? ".
Minister : "Lord, Everything happens for our own good".
King : "Guard, Take him away".
Now the king, to refresh his mood, plans to go for hunting.
In the jungle, after few hours, the king finally plans to rest. As he was sleeping, the king of jungle, "Lion", came there. All the soldiers, servants to the king ran away.
The king woke up, just to find himself lying in front of a lion who was ready to eat him up. The king was numb. The lion moves around the king, smells him, sort of analyzes him and returns back. The king was happy that he is alive.
He gets back to his castle. Was happy that his life is saved, so finally decided to forgive his minister. The minister was brought to the courtyard.
King narrates the incident that happened back in the jungle. Now eager to know what the mister thinks or has to say about the incident.
King : "What do you have to say about everything since morning.? Don't you feel bad about what I have done to you ?"
Minister : "I still have to say only one thing 'Everything happens happens for your won good.'"
King (Furiously) : "You always keep on saying this. Can you justify this ?"
Minister : "Yes, ofcourse I can"
King : "OK. Go ahead. But you try and misguide me, you will be beheaded. "
Minister : "No problem. Your Highness, in case you wouldn't have cut your finger in the morning, you would have been dead already."
King (surprisingly) : "How ?"
Minister : "The lion didn't eat you because it eats whatever it hunts. It doesn't eat anything hunted by others. Seeing your finger cut, the lion didn't wanted to have you in it's meal. If you hadn't put me behind the bars in the morning, then I would have accompanied you on hunting. In that case I would have been the meal for lion. That's why I say that 'Everything happens for our own good'. "
This really makes sense. But this is you who has to believe.
Now there have been so many times that I have met so many successful people saying that "It's good that I left that company 3 years back. I am so lucky to start my own business".
So many people left their jobs and started their own business. They are happy now. But they still crib about the reasons they left the job. But hey, you should be thankful to that environment and events. Without which you wouldn't have taken this step.
Now what do you think "Does everything happens for our own good? "
I do !
