Can i win in my life?

Question

Can i win in my life?

Answer

Only if you want to treat your life as a game and the world is willing to agree. Life in my experience is unfortunately and inconveniently far more serious. Treating life as a gains and loss tally is problematic in that its focused on future potentials that were never certain of and past losses rather than the important part of focusing on the now. There is no future, it hasnt come. There is no past, its done. Theres only THIS instant and if you are going to quotplayquot it has to be NOW.brbrWell, all that said, if you are still focused on quotwinningquot you should know the rules, and YES, there are rules. We often applaud ourselves for gaining mastery over the physical world with planes, trains, computers, and the internet. OH HOW FAR WE HAVE COME!! But we only did that by playing by the rules. We learned scientific knowledge that allowed us to create technology that accomplished our goals. In otherwords, we observed and accomodated our desires and goals to the rules of the world. Thereby, we quotprofitedquot.brbrThe same quotrulesquot exist among humans in the form of written laws, social norms, and growth of families. Its a far more complicated game than the strictly straight forward rules of physical reality. In reality gravity pulls you down, thats it. But in the world of human interaction, they pull you down, push you up, spin you around and blow you away. In the area of ethics I can only say, be kinder to each other. Remember that the hopes and fears in you are the same as those in the heart of your fellow man. When you realize that connection, youll understand theres no game to win. Its all the same team, just different places, different stages and different faces.brbrGood fortune.
