"Life is like a box of chocolates"
Bullshit. Life is more like trying to skip double jumprope. Allow me to explain ....
This particular playground game requires a person on either end of the ropes, who must be able to turn the ropes in unison so that they essentially orbit each other while in motion. The person, or persons, attempting to jump rope under such conditions must be able to gauge when to run into the center and jump as each rope circles under their feet and avoid hitting the top rope while jumping. Hmmm .... each position requires focus, control, cooperation, and a certain level of trust. Otherwise, someone gets smacked in the head by a spinning rope ... or in the ankles ... or gets their arm torqued during rotation ..... lots of possible messed up scenarios that end in hurt feelings or injury. But if everyone works together, if everyone utilizes a bit of focus and physically makes an effort, the game is successful and ultimately fun for all involved. Sounds a lot like almost any situation in daily life to me!
Goal for each day: Jump, Spin, and Watch for Rogue Ropes ;)
