Another way of looking at life and death would be by a Grantland Rice quotation For when the great scorer comes to write against your name; He marks not that you won or lost but how you played the game. You see, we’re going to have similar ups and downs when living out similar complete cycles out. So it’s how you played the game that stands out to me as the great equalizer. We all have God-given talents. It’s up to us to find out what those talents are and make the most out of them. Notice I say them because I believe we’re all multi-talented. Sure some of us seem to have the breaks, but I believe life is fair; it just seems whose viewpoint you use. A fellow living in the Philippines will have the same number and quality of ups and downs as any other 24-year old on Earth. Its how he plays the game of life that’s important. Health in life as we know it is all-important for without It life just seems to ebb and flow away.
Perfection re-examined.
The 12 for 20 four rule strikes again or very close to my understanding of this rule. Take Ty Cobb the great American baseball player that from 1907 to 1919 Ty Cobb was the American League batting title champ, which is for highest batting average 12 out of 13 years. Well, all I can say is things don’t work that way very often or at all. In other words, he batted the best for all those years, which is an outstanding achievement.
Learn to forgive yourself and others.
One has to learn to give others the right to make mistakes in their own lives and to learn to forgive others for past mistakes. I mean, if we make any headway in this book and all you learn that there are times that things will go against you, and you along with other people are going to make mistakes. Don’t be so hard on yourself, and others take life as it comes and understand that your day will come. Nothing comes without hard work and perseverance.
Money doesn’t control our ups and downs in life.
It’s not money that rules the earth and the universe; it is the laws of the ups and downs that rules everything we know and love. Money comes and goes, but it’s the ups and downs of life that control the money flow, not that money controls the ups and downs in life. We can live without money many people do for short and long periods, but we cannot live without the ups and downs of life.
Give rise to a day in a life.
Imagine cloning a person and trying to fit all a real person’s experiences and memories into this new being’s mind. You can see the astronomical odds of even accomplishing this for a day worth of memories. You have to recreate all the emotions of the original person felt plus all the conscious and unconscious thoughts that went through that person’s mind for that one day. Just recreating the body language of the other parties, they interacted with during that one day would be impossible. Then creating the events of a single day of all the humans on earth that affected this person’s cycle would be daunting indeed. Add in the other biological entities alive on this special day who might have interacted with them like dogs, cats, birds, and Flowers, and so forth. Then think about the atoms that make up the matter on earth and try to recreate their whereabouts on this hour then try to figure out all the atoms in the universe for those 24 hours, and what about all the hidden matter and energy that affect our lives with hardly a clue as to the inner workings. Now you can see how life is considered precious by some amongst us.
