The game

Yes. It looks as if it's true, which is that any event in of itself is neutral. As an entity, any happening or circumstance has no intrinsic value. It's not good or bad, positive or negative, or some other label. Take a football game, as an example. A ball flies far and high. One player fumbles it while the other catches it. For one team, the event is disasterous, and the other team is doing the happy dance. (Well, the NFL version of the "dance.")

And so it goes that we can choose to label any event in any way we want. What's more, we can just see it from a distance and watch it develop without any label at all! What's even more, we can see so many more possibilities that each event creates rather than the few options we see initially. That would be so wonderful, so empowering, so freeing! Imagine the types of days that can be created out of that paradigm.

Life may simply be just a game that we play. We can choose our team, our teammates, our coaches, our fans. We can choose to experience all there is to experience knowing full-well we're simply playing a game. We can play for fun just as children do, and we can bring joy into our everyday events, including sitting in the dentist's chair. That would sure be a fulfilling life!
