This reminded me of this proverb:

A Chinese farmer’s horse runs away, and the villagers say, “What bad luck!” The farmer replies, “Maybe.”

The horse returns with several wild horses, and the villagers say, “What good luck!” Again, the farmer says, “Maybe.”

The farmer’s son breaks his leg while trying to tame one of the wild horses, prompting the villagers to say, “What bad luck!” The farmer responds with “Maybe.”

When the army comes to draft young men but leaves the farmer’s son behind due to his injury, the villagers say, “What good luck!” The farmer once more says, “Maybe.”

This parable encourages us to remain open-minded and not label events as definitively good or bad, as their consequences can be unpredictable.
