That thing with your family members remind me of a story I heard.

There was a family of farmers in a small village in china centuries ago. They got a new horse, and their neighbor came by and said "you are so lucky!
The father of the family replied, "We'll see"

Well when the son was trying to break the horse he fell of and broke his leg. The neighbor heard and said "What bad luck!"
The father said to him "We'll see."

a few weeks later the army came by to conscript peasant for war. Well, the farmer's son had a broken leg, so they couldn't take him, and the father was too old and frail. The neighbor said to the father, "What luck!"
The father turned to him and said, "We'll see."

A few weeks later, an illness swept through the village. it only struck the young, and the farmer's son died. Most of the other young men were away at war, so were not harmed. At the funeral, the man's neighbor wondered aloud at the man's horrible luck.

So the man turned to him and said, "We'll see."
