Summary

The narrative suggests that life's events, both positive and negative, are part of an optimal arrangement that ultimately leads to the best possible outcome.

Abstract

The provided content tells two stories illustrating the belief that every event in life, no matter how challenging or unjust it may seem at the moment, is part of a grand design that works out for the best in the long run. The first story is about a traveler who helps an ungrateful elderly woman cross a river and later receives unexpected gratitude and assistance from the woman's grandson. The second story features a king who loses his little finger to a leopard and initially disagrees with his chancellor's mantra that "everything is the best arrangement." However, the king later realizes the truth of this saying when the missing finger saves him from being sacrificed by indigenous people. Both stories emphasize the importance of patience, perspective, and optimism, suggesting that the full picture of life's plan may only be understood in retrospect.

  1. A traveler, near a big river, saw a mother-in-law, who was worried about crossing the water. Exhausted, he used all his strength to help her mother-in-law cross the river, and as a result, after crossing the river, her mother-in-law said nothing and hurried away.

The traveler was remorseful. He felt that it was not worth the effort to help his mother-in-law, because he had not even received the word “thank you”.

A few hours later, when he was too tired to walk any further, a young man caught up with him. “Thank you for helping my grandmother,” said the young man. “My grandmother told me to bring something and said you would need it.” With that, the young man took out the dry food and gave him the horse in his lap.

Don’t rush to life to give you all the answers, sometimes, you have to show patience and so on. Even if you shout into the valley, it will take a while before you hear the long echo.

That is, life will always give you the answer, but it won’t tell you everything right away.

Time is a giant tree crisscrossing. And life is the bird that flies in and out. If one day, you encounter the cold wind and rain of life, your heart has been unbearable, then please wait, to know that this giant tree is living in the lee for you to create a kind of spring weather, and little by little close to you, as long as you work hard.

The rewards do not always come immediately after the effort. As long as you are willing to wait, the beauty of life, always in your inadvertent time, is dressed to come.

Everything worked out for the best.

When you are in adversity, feel that everything is not going well, love, work, career, or ideal are in vain, and the heart is desperate, you may wish to look at this problem from another Angle, and tell yourself: everything is the best arrangement, good luck and bad luck depend on each other, and know that there will be no surprise changes in the future?

2. Here’s another story: There was a king who liked to hunt and visit his chancellors incognito. One of the prime minister’s most common words is “everything is the best arrangement.”

One day, the king went hunting in the forest and shot down a leopard with an arrow. The king dismounted to inspect the leopard. Who would have thought, the leopard with the last strength pounced on the king, the king’s little finger bit off.

The king called the prime minister to drink away his sorrows, but the prime minister smiled and said: “Your Majesty, ah, open a little, everything is the best arrangement!” The king was very angry when he heard this, “If I put you in prison, is that the best arrangement?” The prime minister smiled and said, “If so, I am also convinced that this is the best arrangement.” The king was furious and sent his prime minister to prison.

A month later, the king recovered from his wounds and traveled alone. He came to a remote mountain forest, suddenly rushed down from the mountain a group of indigenous people, tied him up, back to the tribe!

The primitive tribes of the mountain would come down every full moon to look for the victims of the full moon goddess, and the natives prepared to burn the king.

When the king was in despair, the priest was suddenly shocked, he found that the king’s little finger was missing a small part, and it was an imperfect sacrifice, and the moon goddess would be angry at receiving such a sacrifice, so the natives set the king free.

The king was so overjoyed that when he returned to the palace, he asked someone to release the prime minister and invite him to a banquet. The king toasted the prime minister and said, “What you said is really right, and sure enough, everything is the best arrangement!” If I hadn’t been bitten by a leopard, I would have died today.”

The king suddenly thought of something and asked the prime minister, “But you have been in prison for more than a month for no reason, how can you say that?” The prime minister slowly drank a mouthful of wine and then said: “If I am not in prison, then I must be accompanying you on your private patrol. When the natives find that the king is not suitable for sacrifice, won’t it be my turn?”

The king could not help laughing and said, “Yes, everything is for the best!”

The lesson of this story is:

When we encounter unpleasant things, all this is certainly the best arrangement! Don’t get upset, don’t get frustrated, and don’t just look at it for a moment. Put your eyes far away, expand your vision of life, don’t feel sorry for yourself, don’t complain about heaven and earth, always optimistic, struggle, and believe that heaven has no way to stop people.

3. “Everything is the best arrangement”, this is a favorite story of psychological hypnotists, because in their view, people’s subconscious is very powerful, and is not capable of judgment, as long as you input the right instructions and procedures, it will listen and work. Hypnosis is the fastest way to influence and reshape the subconscious mind.

The positive implication of this story has proved to be very powerful, and many people will change their lives after listening to this story, and they will continue to prove this sentence in their later lives.

As long as we carefully reflect on everything in life, we can also say to ourselves, “Everything is the best arrangement.”

When someone near you sends out distress signals, such as being depressed, having a temper tantrum, or behaving strangely, tell them the story. Psychological counseling is far more effective than preventive measures.

So, everything is the best arrangement, and be grateful for everything that happens in life.
