Life

In the game of football, one may be called for an infraction by the toss of a flag. In basketball, there are whistles and 24 seconds to shoot. In the sport of boxing, there is a clock and bell. When I was a child, there was a game called 'marbles'. In the game of marbles, initially, there was a line toward which each player tossed a marble to determine the first to shoot his marble. There was an advantage to being the first shooter. In the game of life, there are advantages and disadvantages, clocks, bells, flags, lines, and Whistles. We are challenged by them. By them, we may win or lose; grow and develope or complain and allow them to control us.
