Default Chance

Chance is the second most important element of the Individual's life in Nature. The Individual must have courage to take chances as they present themselves for the purpose of achieving a goal. There can not be any planning before the chance happens but the Individual must improvise with each chance.

Default Re: Chance

Are you using chance as synonymous with risk. Because I see nothing wrong with calculating risk over 100% improvising

The first most important element in the Individual's life in Nature is change, Nature is always and forever constantly changing spontaneously. To meet this challenge the Individual lives in the moment and has to improvise. There is no time to calculate.

I disagree. What you are describing is impulsivity and raw reaction rather than rationality and being proactive. We have minds we should use.

In my philosophy the Self has a mind. the Person has heart and the Individual has nerve. The Individual must react quickly to the stimuli of the moment. One is impulsive.

It all becomes whole in the ultimate mystery of the whole human's psyche where it is all harmonized.

Bob, you have been trying to fool us all along by making us think you are from Vega. It's obvious now, you are from Mars, since everything for you comes in threes, just like a good little Martian. Are you an advance party, scoping us out and trying to indoctrinate the Individual that lives in Nature?

I was born and bred on earth and have never been on another planet. I have just found that in humans there are three ways of seeing Life.

Seeing everything in threes is your limitation. Other people have discovered universes of other numbers.

If the universe of numbers apply to a human life then it has been broken into too many parts and has become over specialized. It is reductionist
