A Stallion runs away from the Chinese farmer.

Everyone knows immediately what it means.

Bad.

The farmer answers with a question.

What is good and what is bad?

The next day the horse comes back. With more horses.

Now it’s good. Obviously.

What is good and what is bad?

His son breaks his leg riding one of them.

Bad again.

What is good and what is bad?

Then war breaks out.

All the young men are taken.

Except one.

What is good and what is bad?

This episode isn’t about the story.

It’s about how fast we decide what something means — and how uncomfortable we’ve become with waiting.

About the moment where nothing has settled yet.

Where acting too soon feels responsible.

And where not acting looks like doing nothing.

This is where therapy quietly goes wrong.

Not because it doesn’t help.

Because it helps too early and only short-term.

Press play if you recognise the urge to decide, label, fix or reframe — before the story has even had a chance to unfold.
