"a universe where 90%+ of his creation are bound to fail?" "Why do folks enjoy a sport where 70 percent failure is huge success? " ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I can't understand how you see failure by 90% of creation. And as far as enjoying sports - the joy is in the game and seeing folks play and extend themselves. Winning a game or passing a test or inventing a wildly successful product is a terribly over-rated activity - the time-frame of any one event is so short. You feel success at best for a limited time and as you progress you know that future successes come at ever increasing prices. There is certainly joy in winning - and there is pain in losing ---- but there is more than that particular joy or that particular pain. Howie52 The joy in seeing a son make contact when swinging a bat in Tee-ball every bit as great as any success I have personally had - and the pain of leaping up to catch a pass and missing becomes a wonderfully joyful story well past the pain of a loss is felt. Even in losing loved ones, we choose the memories we hold dearest and closest - and we impose our judgement. But that is not the same as the judgement of the Creator. |
