A story, not about chess

Indian King Akbar said to his minister Birbal:

''Tell me a sentence that if we read it in happy time we should become sad & if we read it in sad time we should become happy''

Birbal: ''This time will pass away''

Wow. That truly is deep!

It is indeed a poignant proverb. Because of its universal appeal, this story exists in many cultures with many names and many versions:

This too shall pass.

By the power vested in me by myself, I condemn you to be condemned by other members of OTF. Seriously, stop bumping old threads.

Don’t bump old threads. I’m not kidding.

I will hunt you down for bumping a thread older than you.
