The Brisker Rav, Reb Yoshe Baer, looked out the window and noticed three wagons filled with hay drawn by three horses, one directly behind the other. Two horses ate the hay from the wagons in front of their own. The Brisker Rav turned to a man along side and asked, “Which horse do you think is more fortunate than the others?”
The man looked puzzled and did not know what to say.
“The center one,” the rabbi replied. “Not only does he eat, but his load also becomes lighter.”
Maybe this is the meaning of life. Be full of joy. Lighten your load.
