There were a group of monks that were to be put to death. They were brought before the king. The kind told the monks, "if you can give me something that will make me happy when I am sad and make me sad when I am happy I will spare your lives." The king feeling this was an impossible tasks. He sent the monks away to come back the next day.
The monks stayed up the entire night contemplating what they could bring the king.
The next day the king sent for the monks to be brought to him, and to be prepared to be put to death.
The monks stood before the king. The kind said, "what have you brought me that will make me happy when I am sad and make me sad when I am happy?"
The monks handed the king a piece of paper. The king opened the paper that read:
"This too shall pass."
The monks lives were spared.
Peace & Love.
