Breaks...
In honor of this news story about the woman who has allegedly won the lottery twice, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14751656/ . I think it's time to talk about breaks.Lottery winners generally have good breaks. People who die in car accidents have bad breaks. One of the more disturbing truths about life is that a great deal of things over which you will have little or no control will have a significant impact on your life. Each of us spends a great deal of time trying to reduce the impact of these random occurrences. We buckle our seatbelts. We save money for a rainy day. Many of us move to safer neighborhoods.
In the end, there is only so much we can do with the cards we are dealt. I'm fairly lucky in most respects, but I wish there were times where I could use some sort of a cosmic karma card to cash in a break, and just have one particular event go my way, whatever that event may be. I'm not going anywhere with this observation of mine, so I think I'll go back to designing the cosmic karma card, and using more alliteration.
