I found this nice short story about destiny on Paulo Coelho's blog. It reminds me of a bad Croatian joke that sometimes rings so true:
A sorcerer approaches a peasant working on his farm and asks him for a glass of water. The peasant offers him a glass of wine instead. Pleasantly surprised, the sorcerer offers to fulfill to the peasant one wish.
"You can wish anything you want," the sorcerer said, "but there's one condition. Whatever you wish for, your neighbor will get twice as much."
The peasant thought for a long while, and finally said: " Take out one of my eyes!"
