Subject: Oh what a topic! Me I think life is much like the Canadian Comedian club SCTV. They went on air with a rough script, but as soon as they were live, the script was in the wind. They did what worked. Life is also like that. We had a plan coming, since we forgot to bring it with us we "wing it". An idea just popped into my mind. What if our lives are like ships, destination known before we start, but once we are on the water, everything is relevant to us, not our origin or destination? Who controls the wind? Who controls the waves? Who controls the tides? It does not matter, what matters is how we control our ships, how we trim our sails, and set our rudders.

[> [> I like that analogy! And following along with that idea, getting blown off course can lead to wonderful discoveries. Another one I heard is that life is like a video game, Xbox or whatever. You plug in a game that has all kinds of options already in it. How it ends up is how you play it, the choices you make along the way. They weren't wrong decisions, just different ones leading to different outcomes. At the end of the game, it was still a good game. -- Lissa, 16:57:51 09/03/03 Wed
