Hundreds of years ago there lived a King. One day the King put out a royal order to all of his subjects, to bring him something, that would make him happy when he was sad, and sad when he was happy.
People swarmed to the His castle bringing all sorts of things, of all shapes and sizes.
But nothing worked, and the King was displeased.
Then a little boy came to him, the boy said "I have what you desire My King, right here in my hand", and in his hand was a piece of paper.
The King took the paper from him and read these four words:
"THIS TOO, WILL PASS."
I have this story, that i had forgotten about until now, but there it is. The purpose of the story is to cheer up ppl who are sad really, not to make happy ppl sad.
Simple. But powerful, huh?
