Life Lives for a Living

Man does not “attempt too much too soon,”  Life does, and then must back up a bit to stabilize itself for yet another run at tomorrow.

In considering the actual life-of-Life, I once heard someone ponder the question of, “What does Life do for a living?” and the answer of course, is, live:
Life lives for a living.
What about you?

All real change requires that you pay a price. Everyone dreams of the merchandise, and likewise smiles at the cost.  (I will note the possibilities of personally abolishing the first-of-the-month, and of turning debits into credits so that your master-card shows a positive balance on that great horizontal day of dead reckoning.)

I once heard a mortal pundit conclude that, “The winds and tides are always on the side of the ablest navigator,” which sounds fine unless you realize that Man has never known where the hell he was going anyway… (So Much for Truisms, Part 6.)

The kind of great, immediate, and immutable change of which Men dream is impossible in that they are unknowingly entertaining ideas of setting one single Force free to run wild; which, if such could be accomplished, would reveal a force of unimaginable madness and destruction.

(Tolerances, however, are possible at a micro degree that would be intolerable on a macro level. An artist of questionable talent, though recognized in Heath Hill, would be ignored, if not trampled, in London.)
