live the moment

The Zen story goes of a man who, fleeing a tiger, jumped over a cliff to escape, grabbed a vine and hung suspended from the side saw another tiger gazing hungrily up.

In a moment of surre of the cliff. While the tiger pawed down at him, glancing below he saw another tiger gazing hungrily up.

In a moment of surrender, the man looked to a solitary flower growing from the cliff.

"Splendid!"

Calvin: I know life is not fair, bit why it can't ever be unfair in my favor?
