Sometimes it seems like everything is one big wager, does it not?
You meet someone new. You say hi, you wager on lowering your self-guard in order to make a new friend. Fortunately most people are nice, and usually aren't apt to chew your head off, so this is a rather low-risk gamble.
You propose a new, radical idea at a group meeting. You wager by sticking your neck out on something you are not even sure people will listen to, let alone accept. This carries noticeably more risk, but it is a risk within acceptable limits, in view of the possible payoff.
You like a girl. You want to ask her out, you wager your entire sense of self-dignity in popping the question. Whether you do it subtly, or not, is entirely another debate. High-risk wager, but as always, the prize at the end justifies such low odds of beating the house.
You're not sure if a relationship will work out. But you want to try, so you give your all in loving the person. In some ways, the riskiest proposal of all, simply because there is no easy way from extricating oneself from the possible quagmire should the shit hit the fan.
But, then again, there is possibly no higher reward.
Nobody ever won by not wagering.
Gambling. Try as we might, we can never run from it.
The cosmos is just one big, gigantic game of blackjack.
There are no intangibles. You know what cards your opponent has, you'll beat him. You know what cards have been played, you'll beat the house. Sometimes you can't win no matter how hard you try.
But you never stop trying.
The Gambler's Ruin. The House always wins.
Or does it?
Rules are meant to be broken.
I see the morning glory It winds upon the tree It tells the untold story of how things were meant to be You saw the universe Caught up in desperate dreams You came and changed the ending Changed it to save my fate You led the revolution You left your legacy Embraced the struggle in the face of mortality I know I'm not alone in this Help me believe
I can be free I can be free from this place Beautiful healer Beautiful grace Help me to see Everything fall into place Wake me from dreaming No more deceiving Break these chains
It's still the same old story This great divide Between the want and waste And all the hunger inside I heard the news today Now I'm trying to find my place I'm just a single voice What can I do to erase
All this misunderstanding All this anarchy Six degrees of separation Sometimes it's so hard to see That we are not alone in this I need to believe
I can be free I can be free from this place Beautiful healer Beautiful grace Help me to see Everything fall into place Wake me from dreaming No more deceiving Break these chains...
