### - (smile...) winner/loser tomatoe/tamato? hehe...

unfortunately it's all an 'act' either way for poor old moi (laffing)

i.e.,

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors  
just the same,"

then you are screwed my son when it comes to ever really believing in  
anything ever again! lol :)))

iow: it's all an act on my part either way me old mate...

and don't 'actually' give a flying rat's tutu about winning or losing ;)

what i get out of it being the daily challenge of facing the impossible,  
of thus continually attempting to turn a molehill into a mountain for  
real, with a teaspoon (there is no spoon?)

problem with the lottery being there's no skill in it?

the equivalent of picking 6-horses with a pin, no form or variables to  
consider, nada! iow: no involvement!

that at least with the horses there's an actual chance of getting it all  
right, of the perfect storm occurring on the perfect day, and that thus  
results in a one-time life-changing event that doesn't even really involve  
the money in the final analysis but one's changed/trimmed inner self  
instead (kinda deep shit heh)

i.e., facing the impossibility of it and yet still diligently applying  
oneself regardless to beat the odds, eventually has a very sobering effect  
upon the mind; with no delusion of winning you still work away at it  
trying to win, trimming the whatever-system (and yourself indirectly) in  
the process; there's no surprise at losing only at winning hah! (which  
does happen occasionally! but am used to losing, losing is easy! am great  
at losing lol, just rolls-off like water off a duck's back! but how the  
fuck am i ever gonna cope if it wins?? am not ready for that just yet  
having not had much training in that dept lol....)

iow; it's how slider does his daily press-ups lol, a way for coming to  
terms with the monstrous odds we all face on a daily basis that makes the  
lottery odds look like a childs toy, but never consciously nor  
deliberately deal with otherwise because it's too scary & generally fucks  
up all yer' plans if/whenever ya do lol ;)

next book: Zen and the art of gambling on the ponies :D :D :D
