Not long ago, a farmer...
Not long ago, a farmer was dreading his annual winter visit with his banker. As the day for the meeting drew closer, he became increasingly anxious about the visit as well as angry about his need for financial assistance from the banker. He felt trapped by an unfair economic system, caught in the role of victim while the banker became his powerful adversary. Every time he tried to imagine how the meeting would go, it turned into a horribly depressing scenario in his mind; the farmer was literally making himself sick, and members of his family suffered along with him.
