Good people and bad people both have to face their cycles with their positives and negatives; no one escapes.

Laws of the Ups and Downs.
There is a higher order than the United States Constitution, which is called The LAWS of the Ups and Downs. Which you will obey or pay the consequences, there is no beating our up and down laws that go for even more advanced beings than ourselves if you believe in other intelligent life in the universe.
Good people and bad people both have to face their cycles with their positives and negatives; no one escapes.
No matter how mean you are, you still have your positive times no matter how good you are; you still have your negative times. You can’t blame neighbors, your spouse, your country for the negatives in life; you have to manage them and prepare for the good times that will come your way in time.
College town.
A college town I lived in during the Vietnam War was all peace and love and about getting along. Six to eight years later, the same college town became a war zone with fights all over the place; it is the ups and downs positives and negatives acting themselves out all over again. I saw this when I was a kid when the American people pulled together to World War 2 then during the early to mid-50s a short time later a communist scare gripped the country, and the country took a turn for the worse where neighbor turned against neighbor, and a lot of people got hurt. With the college town, the college administration and town politicians were supposed to put their minds together and figure out what was causing the problem and find a way to remedy the situation, but they didn’t. I know what I’m talking about because the time I tried to bluff some guys there, they were on me quickly. My experiment on myself was a big success.
Treat well the good and bad times for a healthy life.
Sometimes we wish we can live a special moment all over again. How many times have I done that when I was young many times. I used to think about where to have all the good thoughts and feelings gone. I think of the more difficult times, and I’m glad that time moves as it does. Time is going to go by whether we make the best out of it or not. With this time comes our highs and lows as I pointed out time and again. You can be sure the good times will appear again; then, we wonder why did they go by so fast it sure was enjoyable while it lasted. When a more difficult time comes again, we can be sure it won’t last a long time. It depends on what use we make of the memories, that will determine the length of the best times the quicker we move on while learning the fine points of the trouble experience, the more enjoyment we will get out of the good times.
Gambling magnifies our ups and downs. In everyday life, we don’t feel them as much as when gambling. Oh, we know when things aren’t going our way, but much of the time, we have a one-track mind about what we’re trying to accomplish at that time in our lives. But when we gamble like in poker or horse betting for hours at a time, we do notice our highs and lows points more. At least that is what fascinated me about gambling.
