Human equation

"To solve the human equation, we need to add love, subtract hate, multiply good and divide between truth and error."

I got this from one of my boy's friendster page. (that shows I got nothing better to do than blog-hopping and friendster-hopping at home now.)

How I wish human equation is as easy and straight forward as the sentence above. The moment we know somebody, give it 2 months, then we will know what's the answer to it.

Where do we put the feelings and emotion in then?

As a coach, I've always told my girls in the court, we should not be emotional in order to win the game. To achieve the objective. A game is strictly a game. As long as everybody listen and play according to the instruction, we will win.

Hmmm...if we were to apply this to our life, what is our goal? What is our objective? To get married? To stay married? To get kids? To have somebody beside us all the time? To have somebody who would grow old together with us? To find somebody to spend most our times with? To have fun? To get rich?

Again, if we were to compare; life is like a game. You can go all out, follow all the instructions given, and give your best, but there will always be only one winner. (there's no win-win situation, ok) And even though we keep saying that , 'winning is everything' , deep inside us we have to be ready not to win.

The difference is, as long as we've given our best, even though we lose with a tiny margin, it is not that we are not good. Its just that they are lucky.

We may lose this time, but
we might be winning all the games after this.
