I found a story in Ram Dass's Journey of Awakening book that I enjoyed
and would like to post it here.
There once was a king who was going to put to death many people, but
before doing so he offered a challenge. If any of them could come up
with something which would make him happy when he was sad, and sad when
he was happy, he would spare their lives.
All night the wise men meditated on the matter.
In the morning they brought the king a ring. The king said that he did
not see how the ring would serve to make him happy when he was sad and
sad when he was happy.
The wise men pointed to the inscription. When the king read it, he was
so delighted that he spared them all.
And the inscription? "This too shall pass."
Love,
dee
