Things change, or they never were what you thought they were in the first place. But that doesn't mean anyone has to like it.
Well, I suppose things rarely are what they appear to be at least in essence. That isn't always a bad thing and niether is change. Afterall, one can't see where the path takes them after it dissappears around the bend. Maybe you've heard this one...maybe not...but I'm sure I'll retell it in my own screwed up way...:)
In China, a long time ago, a rancher's son managed to catch a wild stallion and placed him in the corral. The rancher's neighbor saw this and said "that is good. You now have another horse". The rancher smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
The next day the horse sprung free by kicking open the gate. The stallion led other horses to freedom. The nieghbor said, "This is bad." The Rancher shrugged and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
The Stallion returned with even more horses than it had led off. Once again the nieghbor declared this to be a fortunate thing while the rancher gave his usual reply. Of course the Rancher may have been proved right once again when one of the new horses threw him, breaking the boy's leg. The Neighbor said that surely this was a bad thing. The Rancher smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
The Chinese army came looking for recruits in it's fight against the Mongols, the rancher's son couldn't go because of his leg, thus sparing his life.
