Having it made in life is not all it appears to be.
At one time or another, some of us feel that once we reach a specific goal in life, we think that life will be just great. Goals like money, marriage,fame and bravery will bring happiness forever, is what many think. For us who have been around for a while, we realize that we must be ever mindful of our dues. Paying our dues is never-ending in life; that’s what makes it so attractive.
Winning revisited.
Winning all the time is not possible if you believe in the laws of the ups and downs. You got to give and take in this world as the song goes. “Give a little take a little that’s the story that’s the glory of love”. Make the tale complete losing all time is not permissible either.
Fame and fortune don’t solve all a person’s problems now, do they? You solve one problem in life then you gain another issue is the way life works. There is always a balance between problems solved and those that need to be solved.
Wishing you were someone else.
When you wish you were someone else, what you do is wish you had it together as that person has it at that time in their life. Time changes all things from experience. Someone I knew well really had it together while my life was at its low point. To make a long story short, they had a very successful life but died young. While my life changed for the better, it mourns my friends passing.
Equality is universal.
I firmly believe there is a balance in life, and this goes for everything in the universe. But let’s talk about biological lifeforms here. All life forms have their ups and downs sometimes a life form is on, and sometimes they’re off luck wise. You see this clearly in our battles with single-celled organisms called bacteria. Sometimes we get the upper hand in these battles, and sometimes bacterial diseases get the upper hand. These battles are waged back and forth according to each entity’s ups and downs. They fight us as equals because they are our equals. What we must do in time is to figure out a better place for our bacterial enemies to roam so that they can be more beneficial to us. When one biological entity goes extinct, we all lose. Nature won’t take that sitting down; it will create a new biological being to replace a fallen foe as nature has done so in the past.
City Hall.
There’s an old saying in America that says you can’t fight City Hall well the ups and downs in life are City Hall.
An example of universal laws dealing with right and wrong. When holding two magnets where like poles repel and unlike poles attract, which do we label right or wrong. Magnets, whether repelling or attracting, are important in the scheme of things and have equal importance; there’s no right or wrong to them.
Friendship.
Not being able to get along with everybody makes me understand how cycles work. It’s just the ups and downs of our cycles coming into play the way they are constantly changing, and good friendships are hard to come by. We’re just not meant to have good times all the time is probably the reason good friendships are hard to find. Your health and your value as a person are your true friendships along with family.”
