Life, all our goals and ambitions, loves and fights are like playing basketball,often times more like street basket ball then a well officiated and clean game. Sometimes you get an air ball , some times you clank it off the rim and some times it’s “nothing but the bottom of the net”. Sometimes you have to play cheaters and get dirty refs and bad calls just like in life.
Having heart for life is as easy as having heart for playing basketball which is pretty easy. No depressive tailspins are required. Chin up. The worst that can happen is that you die on the court.
