Surfers Mantra


Every ones in a while things happen! There is always a probability after enough chances are taken. Once in a great while someone will roll a seven, an odd number will fall in and you might have a winning. But again just like you said, we count of the times we have successes and not take into account all the many times we have failed. This game of probability is just like the string theory. Probability does not have an exact number but yet an array of numbers  or chances that our desired outcome can have. Our few successes can fall into the spectrum of possible occasions, which we in turn find as winnings. Prayer on the other hand, depending on who or what you pray to does determine if that prayer fall on death ears or of an answer that is least desirable for the asker and claim that their prayer was not answered, but we should realize that we don’t always get what we want and what we want is not always the best thing for us in the first place. As children we don’t understand how that works. My son who has autism is having a difficult time understanding why he cannot have frozen entries or take out every meal. He has grown up, so far knowing that if dad eats out he can eat out too, and if dad doesn’t want to eat what mom made he doesn’t have to either. 9 years later, and two physicals with lab and all, my husband has realized he has to lose weight, and when my son had his physical this year the dr confirmed not just to me but also my husband that if we let our son continue with his eating behavior he was going to have difficulties later on in life. This again going back to the probability, my daughter and I eat the same things my husband and son do but our weight is within our normal index, even though I am a full 16 inches smaller than my husband and I eat just as much as he does. The difference in the two equations is that my daughter and I add to our meals plenty of water and fruits and vegetables, which our other half does not. Now, because my husband and son have chosen to follow their desire to eat whatever they crave instead of being modest and eat what is tasteful and better for them, they now have an undesirable outcome. So as we go through this journey of modifying both their behaviors they have learned that it is not easily changed and not everything we want is good for us. Finalizing with, ‘NO’, can also be an answer. Not necessarily the answer we are looking for or care to acknowledge but what is handed to us.
