Win or lose. I remain in love.
My father was a gambler. Habitual. Addicted. Some say that gamblers have
a death wish. They love to take risks. That was my father. He committed
suicide. After running up immense gambling debts. I'm different from my
father. I never gamble for money. Instead, I gamble my emotions. By
wishing for outcomes. If I lose, it's merely a disappointment. An
emotional setback. And I've learned to deal with that. For instance, I
bet my emotions on the Chicago Cubs. When they lose, I may be glum for a
little while. When they win, I'm blissfully happy. Yes, I can handle
the ups and downs of life. Without becoming suicidal. I have learned to
fall in love. With life. And with the Chicago Cubs, too. Win or lose. I
remain in love. --Jim Broede
