This past Sunday I had a very amazing experience. My beloved Green Bay Packers lost an amazing heart-breaking playoff game to the Arizona Cardinals. In the past this would have resulted in at the very least a week of mourning and testiness. Although disappointed, I did not wallow and have moved on from it. I am able to view this in perspective and not in a black and white do or die type of mode. Maybe this is from growing up or just realizing I don't have control over much of anything and it's awesome.
I am very superstitious. Viewed from an alternate perspective I realize that superstition is just some sort of fantasy that I have an amazing power. I honestly thought I have to park my car in a certain parking stall at the local Packer bar to ensure the Packers would win. Somehow this choice of mine would affect the outcome of a game played by 106 men thousands of miles away from me. In the same token this is what makes humans great. The fact we are even willing to entertain the possibility that the most infinitesimal action on our part could sway fate and the will of others into a joyous result for millions.
The more I realize that things outside of myself realm will go as they will and it is best to put up and shut up. My complaint will not change the past. It will just aggravate my present.
Somewhat ramble-y today. Sorry about the week long gap between postings.
