From “The
Human Condition: A User’s Manual” by Arnold Kunst
The story is told of the
fiddler crossing a stream with his horse and buggy in a sparsely populated area
of colonial America. The buggy got caught in mid-stream, and he could neither
go forward nor go back without assistance. But rather than call out for help,
he wisely chose to play his fiddle. And before long people who might perhaps
have found themselves too busy to help someone in need made their way to the
source of the music. After all, it sounded like a party! The guy turned an
annoyance into a kind of feast. Is there a lesson buried here somewhere?
