Description
Fortune is based on one of my favorite stories, an ancient Taoist fable of a small village farmer. The text tells the tale of the changing fortunes of the farmer who, in a chain of interconnected events loses his only horse, which leads to him gaining three more, one of which causes his son to break his leg. As a result the son avoids conscription that would lead to certain death. His response to each turn of fortune is, ‘who knows if this is good luck or bad luck.’
The moral of the story is: ‘Things change, life is short. You never know, keep on going. All is not as it first appears. The changes have no end, the mystery cannot be fathomed.’ Douglas J. Cuomo
