The Parable of the Farmer & The Horse
This week we share a powerful message from Sahil Bloom. Parables are short stories that usually carry profound wisdom in them, todays parable definitely is.
Check Out Our Video Of The Week – Premature Electrification
There was a farmer in a small village with a single horse who helped him earn a living for his family. The other villagers constantly told the farmer how lucky he was to have such a great horse.
”Maybe,” he would reply.
One day, the horse ran away. The villagers came to the farmer to express their sympathies.
”Your horse ran away. How unfortunate!“ the villagers exclaimed.
”Maybe,” the farmer replied.
A few days later, the horse returned home, with ten strong wild horses in tow.
”What good fortune. What incredible luck,” the villagers crowed.
”Maybe,” the farmer again replied.
The following week, the farmer’s son was riding one of the wild horses in the fields, when it kicked him off and broke his leg.
The villagers arrived to express their dismay.
”What dismal luck,” they said.
”Maybe,” the farmer replied.
The next month, a military officer marched into the village, recruiting able-bodied young men for the war. The farmer’s son, with his broken leg, was left behind.
The villagers were joyful, “Your son has been spared. What beautiful luck!”
The farmer simply smiled.
”Maybe.”
The 2 Lessons to Remember
The Cyclicality of Life
In Ancient Indian traditions, there is a belief in a concept called the Wheel of Time (or “kalachakra”).
The idea is that time goes through a natural three-part cycle:
- Creation
- Destruction
- Rebirth
Every period of creation is followed by a period of destruction. Every period of destruction is followed by a rebirth and period of creation.
This has always resonated with me. I believe our lives follow a similar natural cycle from creation (growth) to destruction (struggle) to rebirth (new beginnings).
The wisdom is found in:
- Embracing the periods of creation but knowing that they won’t last forever (a core insight of the Surfer Mentality).
- Outlasting the darkness of the periods of destruction and knowing that destruction is a precursor to rebirth.
The Parable of the Farmer and the Horse brings this to life:
The seeds of destruction are sown during creation, and the seeds of creation are sown during destruction. The farmer’s good fortune is rooted in his bad fortune and his bad fortune is rooted in his good fortune.
Life is cyclical!
