From “The Human
Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
15 September
The story is told of
a 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.
