The Fairness Factor

Whoever said life isn't fair completely lacked objective perspective and knowledge of the scientific principle behind “I'm rubber you're glue.” Life's bread and butter move is fairness. The physical Law of Fairness: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction holds in every situation. Remember, though, opposite is a directional measure not a substance measure. This is exactly why when you wish bad things would happen to bad people bad things happen to you. Instead, wish them a long and healthy life when they're doing life without parole.

I'm still perfecting my technique for wishing evil in a good and positive way. Here's an example: Someone stole my thumb drive, with all my writing on it, and when I asked around the house it mysteriously reappeared reformatted. In a less enlightened time I would have wished plagues upon him. Now, abundant fairness whatever the Universe decides that should be.

Let me get to some spiritual good news. Yesterday, I accidentally solved a creative dilemma during morning pages. Really, it launched a cool title with no story into story with one free form line. For three months I had no idea what to do with it and, now, it's complete. Not a bad day's work.

Nothing else has moved forward in a month, but one thing done beats detailed planning with empty pages to show for it.

Indoors

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”-Helen Keller
