When the odds are against, going gets tougher. When odds are against, life seems to be random. Chaos dominates actions and words. Heart thumps not as vivaciously as one would wish to. Brain lingers at a pace not suitable for survival. Nerves become vulnerable to break-down every now and then.
What could be a perfect analgesic in such a situation? Where lays the remedy and how to envision the roads ahead? These are not individual questions or private quandaries. Roughly, every one of us witnesses this challenge at some stage in this wonderful LIFE.
Yes, life is wonderful and fulfilling. Then, why stakes are heavily placed against the flow sometimes? I reckon that is how it had to be. Invariably, we subjected ourselves to a world where individuality lost its sheen to outer appearances more than several times, where we forgot to introspect at regular intervals and became handicapped in the hands of the inevitable more often than not. We followed a way not in search of attainment but in pursuit of appreciation. Appreciation of any form and it did not matter how long they lasted. As a result, all the odds even though in favor of appreciation seemed totally unwieldy. Remember, this journey was meant to be towards attainment.
If one thinks in retrospect, redemption may not be a distant dream. It is basically about knowing oneself and doing things which attracts celestial joy. When we say that the odds are against, it is not that the odds are against. It is basically odds against attainment. The best thing about odds of attainments is that it is readily transformable at any given point of time regardless of mental, physical or emotional well being. One can continue to be busy in all mundane activities - perhaps that is the cost of appreciation – but still can do a bit for transformable odd. Who know a bit may slowly turn into a large canvas of extraordinary colors – one which will have most meaningful theme of one’s own imagination.
We never chose our odds and we can never choose our odds, what we can choose is little actions or few thoughts which have capability to breach most obscure canopy.

...truely said,bt i'd rader put it dis way..as dr.surana keeps saying : we have three categories of people amongst us..
1)who will alwaz commit crimes
2)who will never commit crimes
3)who will commit a crime,if given a chance
..the appreciation or the attainment is what follows thereafter,extremes r alwz there but majorities belong to the 3rd category whre chances alwaz prevail,n as u call it-"odds" !!
very rightly put by you Anon. :-)
