That's the mantra to be followed in this scene.
Sometimes, taking the easy way out doesn't get you the rewards that you are seeking. Then again, I hear of some that have plopped down a few bucks, at a local convenience store, playing the lottery and are set for life. I don't play poker. I don't play the weekly big tickets. I don't enjoy a good gamble. However, one or twice, when the pot looms the largest, I'll throw a buck here or there. I don't expect to walk away with anything, but it makes me feel a bit better in some strange way.
Most make their way down an escape to safety.
Today, I'm climbing to daylight.
I might pass you on my way up.
I'm totally with you on the gambling thoughts. I don't enjoy gambling at all and I can't remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket.
ReplyDeletereally neat shot.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you're not just high? Nice photo!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a thought provoking post from you. And a fab photo to go with it!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be in it to win it Birdman, once a week is enough for me.. You just never know :)
ReplyDeleteStudies of lottery winners show their lives often fall apart. They can't handle great wealth. I'm willing to give it a try however.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the roof doesn't catch fire :-)
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
I buy 1 ticket a week and we don't pay any taxes on the winnings so if you win you win it all!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't buy a ticket, you can't win!! I, too, would like to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI don't gamble, EXCEPT that when the Powerball or MegaMillions pot gets huge, I often buy $5 or so worth of tickets. I don't consider that to be gambling. It is an investment in stimulating my imagination. "If I win, shall I buy or rent a place in Paris? What about San Francisco? No . . . maybe Lake Como." Well worth $5.
ReplyDeleteYou always have something wise to share with me.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I'll take a chance once and a while. I look at it as a donation for the next millionaire.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that government lotteries are a tax on the stupid. Better to be a heliotrope, as your photo nicely illustrates.
ReplyDeleteClever post -- barbara
ReplyDeleteScrambling toward that light!
