Just as bad times never last, in all honesty…..neither do good times. Everything in life is perpetually in a state of random flux. Change is the only real constant in this universe of ours. Hence if your life seems too good to be true during a particularly enchanting moment, it probably is and change of the negative variety is already in the offing back in the locker-room. This is inevitable, no different than the metronomic arc of a pendulum or the steady rhythm of the ocean tides. But always remember this: The opposite is likewise true, so don’t get too dejected and quickly give up hope when the pendulum swings once more to the left and sinister clouds move in and take up temporary residence directly over your head, something I guarantee will ineluctably happen to you in time—many times over! This compromised condition is temporary as well; the pendulum won’t remain stuck in a pejorative position permanently and it’ll work its way back toward you in time. Why? Because it will. No one knows why, or at least no person rightfully claiming prudence can offer a plausible explanation. Life is structured in a rhythmic, oscillating pattern for no apparent reason.
