The Nova Effect: The Tragedy of Good Luck

A short fictionalized story of an ancient Asian account of a farmer's son being thrown from a horse and breaking his leg -- good news or can anyone really ever know what "good" is until subsequent things happen or are kept from happening. This story is about a series of unpleasant events that cause the sudden appearance of intense change in a person's life for the better. How could good come from bad? How can anything be called "bad" until the rest of our past karma (actions that lay tracks down in the mind like seeds that sprout later for our good or ill) has had a chance to play out?
