Is this a Neolithic universe with no meaning other than survival, or does the enlightenment view prevail where there is a master plan.

There once was a a warrior who had a fine stallion.
Everybody said how lucky he was to have such a horse.
May be the warrior said.

One day the stallion ran off.
The people said the warrior was unlucky.
May be the warrior said.

Next day the stallion returned 
Leading a string of fine ponies.
The people said it was very lucky.
May be the warrior said.

Later the warrior's son was thrown from one of the ponies and broke his leg.
The people said it was unlucky.
Maybe the warrior said.

The next week, the Chief led a war party against another tribe.
Many young men were killed, 
But because of his broken leg, 
The warrior's son was left behind and so was spared.
