On Life

Gambling is dangerous. It's frowned upon. It causes family breakdown and ruins lives, right? But when you REALLY think about it, we gamble with[in] our lives all the time.

The way I see it, life seems to be a series of choices, made on the spur of the moment, with little or no information upon which to base that choice....a succession of dice throws, with you, the gambler, hoping to roll a six.

I'm not a gambler though, and I prefer to have more options than "Let the dice fall where they may". Although Life does seem to be some completely random game of cosmic marbles, I, like the stubborn cow I am, will continue to pull against "fate" until The Big Guy/Girl comes down and tells me otherwise. Or until I roll a six.

  1. Well , this is similar to my theory also. Although I think its more the 'conditions of entry' of life than a gamble. If you live you must also b prepared to die. These are the conditions of entry.
    Nothing is ever random, everything can be linked back to our actions, however so vast out interaction with the world that it may as well be random (or fate) since we can never have the perception to see the true outcome of our actions.
