Daoist Farmer Parable

(At least, this is the best rendition I could find on currently available energy levels. The last paragraph, about consoling the *other* parents, is highly emotionally problematic for me and does not appear in any version I've liked, nor any I've seen before.)

@zebratron2084 I’d read a cut down version in Pema Chodron - the part where the son is thrown and escapes the draft, no further info. She uses it as a “you can’t tell how things will play out in the future.”

@zebratron2084 yeah, that last paragraph has a very strong odor of self-righteous rubbing it the fuck in. :|
