Wrong? wrong! are you sure?

The piece of bread that fell wrong side up

We all have a tendency to believe that everything we do will turn out wrong, because we think we do not deserve to be blessed. Here is an interesting story about precisely that feeling.
A man was quietly eating his breakfast. Suddenly, the piece of bread which he had just spread with butter fell to the ground.

Imagine his surprise when he looked down and saw that it had landed buttered side up! The man thought he had witnessed a miracle. Excited, he went to tell his friends what had happened, and they were all amazed because when a piece of bread falls on the floor, it always lands buttered side down, making a mess of everything.

‘Perhaps you’re a saint,’ one friend said. ‘And this is a sign from God.’

Soon the whole village knew, and they all started animatedly discussing the incident: how was it that, against all expectations, that man’s slice of bread had fallen on the floor buttered side up? Since no one could come up with a credible answer, they went to see a Teacher who lived nearby and told him the story.

The Teacher demanded one night to pray, reflect and ask for Divine inspiration. The following day, they all returned, eager for an answer.
‘It’s quite simple really,’ said the Teacher. ‘The fact is that the piece of bread fell exactly as it should have fallen, but the butter had been spread on the wrong side.’
-Paulo Coelho

tell me anybody who isn't guilty of the same kind of thoughts?
that there is a "must" to everything?
we always believe that things MUST go wrong, very wrong.
even the teacher thinks the same way,
he thinks that just because the butter didn't make a mess,
there must be something wrong, a catch to it,
in the end, he thought he had come up with a perfect solution,
that the man had made a mistake.
(like yeah? there's a right side to spread butter?)

this story make us all seem a wee bit stupid don't you think?
like we are all ignorant yound kids, who don't know shit.
but get a load of that, it's just an example.
we do have thoughts like that, it's just that it happens unconciously.
when things go wrong, we always expect it to be extremely bad,
like we are cursed.
we think we're so jinxed that if it's only a minor setback,
we think that a miracle has happened
or maybe there's something we terrible haven't noticed.

this teaches us, to learn to accept everything,
good or bad, and not only be comfortable
with negetive "must"s that have haunted us throughout our lives
