There is a lighthearted story of a man who cites to his rabbi all the bad things that had happened to him: His wife left, he was fired from his job, his kids are in trouble, his health is failing. The rabbi says, "It could have been worse." The man puzzled asks, "How? Rabbi, after all this! How could it have been worse?" The rabbi nonchalantly replies, "It could have happened to me!"
