We'll See

"There's a little boy and on his 14th birthday he gets a horse...and everybody in the village says, 'how wonderful.' And the zen master says, 'we'll see.' Two years later, the boy falls off the horse, breaks his leg, and everyone in the village says, 'how terrible.' And the zen master says, 'we'll see.' Then, a war breaks out and all the young men have to go off and fight...except the boy can't because his legs are all messed up and everyone in the village says, 'how wonderful.'"
(Gust Avrakotos)
"Now the zen master says, 'we'll see.'"
(Charlie Wilson)
side-note: Charlie Wilson's War is one of my all-time favorite films.
