A Game of Luck
Flip a coin.
Flip a thousand coins.
Did you get a thousand heads?
Great. You survive birth.
Flip a thousand coins.
A thousand times each.
Did you get a million heads?
Congratulations, you won't starve.
Last go.
Flip a coin.
Did lightning strike that coin?
Did you survive?
Good job! You're charismatic, attractive and intelligent. You have opportunities! Go, enjoy life! Be happy!
Oh.. There was no lightning? No worries, keep flipping that coin.
Flip that coin all day, every day.
Flip that coin, because your life depends on it.
Work harder, flip harder. Higher and higher. Lightning will strike. One day.
Until then, keep flipping.
Keep flipping, and keep smiling. This is life. Enjoy it.
