Wish wisely. It may just come true.

Ever felt I shouldn't have wished for it?

I am sure you do.

I sometimes play Three card poker (Teenpatti). Not that I am good player but I feel that is one game which is closest to real life. Sometimes while you play, you are holding up 'Three Fat Ladies', a term for having three 8s. Instead of going 'All In' with those cards, mind starts to wander whether the other players have bigger combinations. Just think of how many higher combinations are there. Just 6 combinations bigger than that. Just the thought of the other person having Three Queens or Three Kings fucks your mind so much that you 'fold' rather than going all the way with what you have. In the hope of getting better.

On the contrary, sometimes you go 'All In' with a pair in your hand, hoping against all odds. Praying that what you have is the best and you can't get any better. Eventually, you lose unless you are that lucky to win with that which in my case can never be true. While God was putting luck in men's kitty, I was taking a shower. At this juncture you could either commend yourself for being brave and going with your conviction or wonder why you are so stupid not to have 'folded'.

Either ways. I chose that. If you are in misery, you chose it. No one put you there. There is absolutely no way someone else is responsible for it. You chose it that way.

Viva la fellows!
