Good-Luck or Bad-Luck
In a village, a poor old farmer had a lame son. Everyone in the village called that boy unlucky.One day, king's army came to the village, and took all the strong young boys to be soldiers for the emperor. Only the old farmer's lame son was spared, because he could not fight with a broken leg. Everyone said, “What a good luck!” The old farmer replied, “Good luck?, bad luck?, who knows?”
So, don't pride on your good-luck and don't grieve over your bad-luck.

our unconscious-mind is reactive natured.
But such children are not a burden on most parents. No matter how their children are, they love them till death.
There may be some exceptions.
it is quite possible to be some variation in between parents and children from place to place and country to country.
for example:
When you compare yourself with someone better than you, you find yourself in a bad condition and when you compare yourself with someone worse than you, you find yourself in a good condition.
The wiki article version is in traditional Chinese, but google handles traditional to simplified very well.
There comes a cow and dumps huge on it. In the warm dump the sparrow defrosts.
It starts jumping with happiness, it’s got saved.
A cat comes, notices the hopping sparrow. Pulls it out and eats it.
Conclusion: If somebody dumps shit onto you, not necessarily your enemy.
If somebody pulls you out of shit, not necessarily you friend.
Most of all, if you are in shit, don’t show off, don’t call attention.
