Mulla Stories # 8 - What is Fate

A certain man asked Mullah Nasruddin , 'What is the meaning of fate, Mullah Nasruddin ?

Assumptions, Mullah Nasruddin replied.

In what way? the man asked again.

Mullah Nasruddin looked at him and said,

You assume things are going to go well, and they don't - that you call bad luck. 

You assume things are going to go badly and they don't - that you call good luck. 

You assume that certain things are going to happen or not happen - and you so lack intuition that you don't know what is going to happen.
 
You assume that the future is unknown. When you are caught out - you call that Fate.
