Till It's Done

Sports are an interesting metaphor for life. Every game I've watched or played in has played out the same way. Taken as individual plays or points clouds what really happens. Sure the individual play or point can be thrilling or disastrous. That is when taken as one portion of the whole event. Each play or point leads to the next one and so on on till the conclusion of the game or match. Each subsequent play wouldn't have happened without the previous ones. The final score is what really counts. All the errors and singular plays are forgotten.  I think that happens with one's life too. Every bump in the road of life, every success in life, all contribute to the whole of one's existence. When we die a person's entire life is looked at as a whole. No one would have reached that end without one event having a profound effect on the others. I know when I look at my life there are many strikeouts and double faults but some aces  and hits too. Each one led to a part of life that never would have happened without them. Everyone needs to realize this and then we wouldn't despair so much when maladies come our way. Just a part of life so deal with it.
