Life is a big raffle draw :))

I have just about started reading a few blogs by others on the net.. it is interesting to see how the human mind works. I'm a big skeptic and love to dig deep to find out answers as to why things exist the way they do. The human mind has been and is a big target for me.. I started reading books on neurology, philosophy... and no, I still don't have a complete picture. This is but obvious, it is not practical to generalise the human mind. Men think differently from women and among men they think differently still. The quest continues....

What is interesting in this whole circus is the attitude of the majority towards regular occurrences. Almost everyone (I say almost) on this planet unanimously thinks that there is this supernatural, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent entity who has nothing better to do than to sit around all day and night and control everything.. and I mean everything - a leaf dropping from a tree to when Titanic hit the iceberg! Everyone is entitled to their own views I am told, so I let it be, but just stop for a moment and think. THIS IS A VERY DEPRESSING WAY TO LIVE!!! Don't wait around for the wind, start flapping.. fix a damn propeller!!

I don't say that you are in control of everything, but hell no one else is either... anything that happens to you is not premeditated by some almighty. I think life is like one big raffle draw. Look around and you always see some people hitting the jackpot... a prize that you wanted, but never got. 'Oh life is so bad, it sucks, its unfair'.... HELLO!!! Wake up... What you need to do is, buy the damn lottery ticket... some people might hit it on their first ticket yet some wont till its ticket 273, but it does not matter... the idea is to keep buying the DAMN TICKET!!!

So get out there and keep buying.. bet on everything you desire.. you are bound to hit the jackpot someday!

I would like you to read this story by Issac Asimov, which is eerily great.

Interesting theory, though I disagree.

At the risk of sounding pompous I'd say the first one.. As I type this I am awaiting the results of a raffle ticket I've been pursuing :)
