You know its summer when you hear the sound of leather on willow! Once said an honorable men. But like all other honorable men the situation of the game overwhelmed any logic or rational thought processes. In a game of cricket one team would be coasting to victory only to see defeat after the "situation" got to them. All you have to do is hit a ball with a piece of wood then run down the pitch. But in the excitement of a close game a batsman can cloud his vision by imposing a belief that all of the sudden it has become hard to put bat on ball. Does the great game of cricket parallel with the great game of life? - I think so. How many times have you been in a situation where it appears that everything has great significance only to look back on that situation and discover how trivial it all was? But it is these illusions that make life great. A good game of cricket is good because anything can happen at any moment - the human psyche makes it unpredictable. Spectators would be turned off in droves if the game was predictable. Likewise, a good life is good becuase it is unpredictable - we throw up so many illusions that reality is lost. But it's great! I like the fact that I feel really depressed when a girl leaves me - even though I know my feelings are mere illusions, that I am only feeling that way because I exist relative to another entity (and those feelings exist relative to other feelings), it doesn't bother me. This incarnation would be extremely boring if I did not have any illusions to fool me.
