Isn't life a little like Wheel of Fortune (probably a LOT like it if you think of all of the religious and philosophical allegories surrounding "Rota Fortunae"). I’m talking about the game show, though…Wheel of Fortune gives players clues as to what might be hidden behind the tiles, but requires the individual player’s skill AND the luck of the spin to seal the deal. A smart player with great skill might get a bad spin and lose everything; an idiotic player can bumble his way to big money with luck on his side.
Don't we all know someone who has it all going on, and yet has nothing? My heart breaks for people who are smart, work their asses off, buy the right proverbial vowels, and yet still end up behind. I suppose the lesson here is to more carefully examine what they DO have... blah blah blah... All I'm saying is, if a person spends 250 bucks on a well-played vowel, he should come out ahead!
Conversely, we all know someone who is such an idiot, but who has it all! A person like this has been what... given everything he has? was presented with a ridiculously easy puzzle? played against other people who were a bit more stupid than he? There isn't much use in obsessing over why Darwinism hasn't kicked in for certain people, but crap, it's maddening! If someone who couldn't find his way out of a paper bag has it all, why don't I? (I probably don't want an answer to that question.)
Here's to avoiding the big, black BANKRUPT on the wheel and to choosing the right vowels this year. May lady luck be on our side!
